2 Samuel 16:17-19 ▼

17 But Absalom asked Hushai: “Is this your devotion to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”

18 Hushai replied to Absalom: “On the contrary, I am his whom the LORD and all this people and all Israel have chosen, and with him I will stay.

19 Furthermore, as I was in attendance upon your father, so will I be before you. Whom should I serve, if not his son?”
