16 When David's friend Hushai from Archi's family came to Absalom, he said, |Long live the king! Long live the king!| 17 |Is that how loyal you are to your friend?| Absalom asked Hushai. |Why didn't you go with him?| 18 Hushai answered Absalom, |No, I want to be with the one whom the LORD, these people, and all Israel have chosen. I will be his [friend] and stay with him. 19 And besides, whom should I serve? Shouldn't it be his son? As I served your father, so I'll serve you.| 2 Samuel 16:16-19, God's Word Translation.
