2 Samuel 16:17-19 ▼

17 And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”

18 Then Hushai said to Absalom, “No! For whom the LORD, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him I will remain.

19 “And besides, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so I will be in your presence.”
