2 Samuel 15:32
Render ... "when David was come to the top of the mount where people worship God." The top here, and in II 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.
30 So David went up by the Ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he ahad his head covered and went bbarefoot. And all the people who were with him ccovered their heads and went up, dweeping as they went up.
31 Then someone told David, saying, a“Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray, bturn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”
32 Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God—there was Hushai the aArchite coming to meet him bwith his robe torn and dust on his head.
33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, then you will become aa burden to me.
34 But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, a‘I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father’s servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,’ then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me.
