Shmuel Bais 15:32-34

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³² And it came to pass, that when Dovid was come to the top of the mount, where he worshiped Elohim, hinei, Chushai the Arki came to meet him with his kesones torn, and adamah upon his rosh;

³³ Unto whom Dovid said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a massa (burden) unto me;

³⁴ But if thou return to the Ir, and say unto Avshalom, I will be thy eved, O melech; as I have been eved avicha hitherto, so will I now also be thy eved; then mayest thou for me bring to nought the etza (counsel) of Achitophel.
