Hushai


"Quick, "the Archite," "the king's friend" (1 Chr. 27:33). When" "David fled from Jerusalem, on account of the rebellion of" "Absalom, and had reached the summit of Olivet, he there met" "Hushai, whom he sent back to Jerusalem for the purpose of" "counteracting the influence of Ahithophel, who had joined the" "ranks of Absalom (2 Sam. 15:32, 37; 16:16-18). It was by his" advice that Absalom refrained from immediately pursuing after "David. By this delay the cause of Absalom was ruined, for it" gave David time to muster his forces.
