Kings II 15:27-31

27 And the king said to Sadoc the priest, Behold, thou shalt return to the city in peace, and Achimaas thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.

28 Behold, I continue in arms in Araboth of the desert, until there come tidings from you to report to me.

29 So Sadoc and Abiathar brought back the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, and it continued there.

30 And David went up by the ascent of Olives, ascending and weeping, and had his head covered, and went barefooted: and all the people that were with him covered man his head; and they went up, ascending and weeping.

31 And it was reported to David, saying, Achitophel also among the conspirators with Abessalom. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray thee, the counsel of Achitophel.
