Contextual Overview

³¹ Someone told David, "Ahithophel is one of the people with Absalom who made secret plans against you." So David prayed, " Lord , please make Ahithophel's advice foolish." ³² When David reached the top of the mountain where people used to worship God, Hushai the Arkite came to meet him. Hushai's coat was torn, and there was dirt on his head to show how sad he was. ³³ David said to Hushai, "If you go with me, you will be just one more person for me to take care of. ³⁴ But if you return to the city, you can make Ahithophel's advice useless. Tell Absalom, ‘I am your servant, my king. In the past I served your father, but now I will serve you.' ³⁵ The priests Zadok and Abiathar will be with you. Tell them everything you hear in the royal palace. ³⁶ Zadok's son Ahimaaz and Abiathar's son Jonathan are with them. Send them to tell me everything you hear." ³⁷ So David's friend Hushai entered Jerusalem just as Absalom arrived.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, that [when] David was come to the top [of the mount],.... Of the mount of Olives:

where he worshipped God; by prayer and praise; here very probably he composed and sung the third psalm Psalms 3:1, which, as the title shows, was made when he fled from Absalom:

behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him, with his coat rent, and earth upon his head; in token of mourning, and as a bringer of bad tidings, see 2 Samuel 1:2; perhaps he was an inhabitant of Archi, at least originally, which lay on the borders of the tribe of Ephraim, Joshua 16:2; from whence he had his name.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Render ... “when David was come to the top of the mount where people worship God.” The top here, and in 2 Samuel 16:1, is used almost as a proper name. No doubt there was a high-place upon the top of the Mount of Olives.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 15:32. Where he worshipped God — Though in danger of his life, he stops on the top of Mount Olivet for prayer! How true is the adage, Prayer and provender never hinder any man's journey! Reader, dost thou do likewise?

Hushai the Archite — He was the particular friend of David, and was now greatly affected by his calamity.
