II Samuel 15:30 But David went up by the ascent of Mount Olivet, going up and weeping, walking barefoot, and with his head covered; and all the people that were with him, went up with their heads covered, weeping.

Weeping, etc. David on this occasion wept for his sins, which he knew were the cause of all his sufferings. (Challoner) --- Barefoot, like a criminal, or one in mourning, Isaias 20:4., and Ezechiel 24:17. (Calmet) --- Covered, that the people might not see him. (Worthington)
