καὶ ἦν Δαυεὶδ ἐρχόμενος ἕως τοῦ Ῥοώς, οὗ προσεκύνησεν ἐκεῖ τῷ θεῷ· καὶ ἰδοὺ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῷ Χουσεὶ ὁ Ἀρχί, ἑταῖρος Δαυείδ, διερρηχὼς τὸν χιτῶνα αὐτοῦ καὶ γῆ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ.

LXX

And it came to pass, that, when David was come to the top of the ascent, where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head.
