Commentary

And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount,.... Of the mount of Olives: where he worshipp ed God; by prayer and praise; here very probably he composed and sung the third psalm Psa 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 Sa2 1:2 ; perhaps he was an inhabitant of Archi, at least originally, which lay on the borders of the tribe of Ephraim, Jos 16:2 ; from whence he had his name.
