16 When David’s friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!|” 17 Is this your loyalty to your friend?” Absalom asked Hushai. “Why didn’t you go with your friend?|” 18 Not at all,” Hushai answered Absalom. “I am on the side of the one that the LORD, the people, and all the men of Israel have chosen. I will stay with him. 19 Furthermore, whom will I serve if not his son? As I served in your father’s presence, I will also serve in yours.” 2 Samuel 16:16-19, Holman Christian Standard Bible.
