16 And when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, Long live the king! long live the king! 17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend? 18 And Hushai said to Absalom. No; but whom the LORD and this people and all Israel have chosen, with him will I dwell, and his will I be. 19 And again, whom should I serve? I have no choice. As I have served in your father's presence, so will I serve before you. 2 Samuel 16:16-19, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
