And it came to pass, that [when] David was come to the top [of the mount], etc.] Of the mount of Olives: where he worshipped God; by prayer and praise; here very probably he composed and sung the third psalm (<190301>Psalm 3:1-8), 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 <100102> 2 Samuel 1:2); perhaps he was an inhabitant of Archi, at least originally, which lay on the borders of the tribe of Ephraim, (<061602>Joshua 16:2); from whence he had his name.
