2 Samuel 16:17-19 ▼

17 And Absalom says to Hushai, “[Is] this your kindness with your friend? Why have you not gone with your friend?”

18 And Hushai says to Absalom, “No, for he whom YHWH has chosen, and this people, even all the men of Israel, I am his, and I abide with him;

19 and secondly, for whom do I labor? Is it not before his son? As I served before your father, so I am before you.”
