16 And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had gone to Absalom, he said to him: “May you be well, O king! May you be well, O king!” 17 And Absalom said to him: “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?” 18 And Hushai responded to Absalom: “By no means! For I will be his, whom the Lord has chosen. And I, and all this people, and all of Israel, will remain with him. 19 But then too, I declare this: whom should I serve? Is it not the son of the king? Just as I have been subject to your father, so will I be subject to you also.” 2 Samuel 16:16-19, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
