16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, friend of David, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, “May live the king, may live the king.” 17 And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did not you go with your friend?” 18 And Hushai said to Absalom, “No, but he whom YHWH has chosen, and this people, and all the men of Israel, unto him I will be, and with him I will remain. 19 And secondly, whom should I serve? Is it not before the face of his son? As I have served before the face of your father, so will I be in your presence.” 2 Samuel 16:16-19, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
