David Prays and Deploys Hushai

2 Samuel 15:31-37
31
Now someone told David: “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David pleaded, “O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”
32
When David came to the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.
33
David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me.
34

36

37
So David’s friend Hushai arrived in Jerusalem just as Absalom was entering the city.
