10:015:030 And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as
           he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: 
           and all the people that was with him covered every man his
           head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.

10:015:031 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the
           conspirators with Absalom.  And David said, O lord, I pray
           thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

10:015:032 And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of
           the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite
           came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head: 

10:015:033 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou
           shalt be a burden unto me: 

10:015:034 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will
           be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant
           hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant:  then mayest thou
           for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.

10:015:035 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the
           priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou
           shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to
           Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

10:015:036 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz
           Zadok’s son, and Jonathan Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall
           send unto me every thing that ye can hear.

10:015:037 So Hushai David’s friend came into the city, and Absalom came
           into Jerusalem.

10:016:001 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold,
           Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of
           asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and
           an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer
           fruits, and a bottle of wine.

10:016:002 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these?  And
           Ziba said, The asses be for the king’s household to ride on;
           and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and
           the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.

10:016:003 And the king said, And where is thy master’s son?  And Ziba
           said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem:  for he
           said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom
           of my father.

10:016:004 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that
           pertained unto Mephibosheth.  And Ziba said, I humbly beseech
           thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.

10:016:005 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a
           man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei,
           the son of Gera:  he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
