And David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot, and all the people who were with him covered his head—every man—and they went up, weeping as they went up.
“David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives and wept as he went up.” King David wept on the Mount of Olives as he climbed it to leave Jerusalem in the hands of his ungodly son Absalom. About 1,000 year later Jesus wept when he saw the city of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives because he knew they rejected him, which would mean his death and Jerusalem’s doom (Luke 19:41).
