E come Davide fu giunto in vetta al monte, al luogo dove si adora Dio, ecco farglisi incontro Hushai, l’Arkita, con la tunica stracciata ed il capo coperto di polvere.
Or avvenne che, come Davide fu giunto alla cima del monte, dove egli voleva adorare Iddio, ecco, Husai Archita gli venne incontro, avendo la vesta stracciata, e della terra in su la testa.

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.
