Ahithophel was the king’s counselor, and Hushai the Archite was the king’s companion. v.33

Read chapter 27
We have a list of King David's overseers of his things such as his flocks, vineyards, storehouses, etc. Matthew Henry's Commentary says, "Much of the wisdom of princes is seen in the choice of their ministry, and common persons show it in the choice of their advisers. David, though he had all these about him, preferred the word of God before them all."  Among this list one is noted as David's companion or in other words his friend.  This man is Hushai the Archite.  Ahithophel was David's counselor who would advise him on matters of state, but the one whom David would share his fears, deepest secrets, trust the most and enjoy conversations and time with the most was his friend, Hushai.  We read about Hushai in 2 Samuel 16 & 17 when Absalom tried to overthrow David and Hushai seemed to turn against David yet was conspiring against Absalom- staying true to David in this time of possible kingdom turnover.    Many of us have lot of people around us and in our lives, maybe not as commenders in charge of our things, but people in positions in our life we trust or seek advice or time with for certain matters, but not all those are people you would tell your deepest secrets to or enjoy unending time with or be the one at your side when you're on your death bed.  Who is your one friend that would be listed and named so over their career or relation to you?  Even that friend may fail you at some point in your life but God's word will always be the best advise and the one you can share the most intimate time with.
