16 When David's friend Hushai the Arkite came to Absalom, Hushai said to him, |Long live the king! Long live the king!| 17 Absalom said to Hushai, |Do you call this loyalty to your friend? Why didn't you go with your friend?| 18 Hushai replied to Absalom, |No, I will be loyal to the one whom the LORD, these people, and all the men of Israel have chosen. 19 Moreover, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you.| 2 Samuel 16:16-19, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
