2 Samuel 16:19 DBY

¹⁷  And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why didst thou not go with thy friend?

¹⁸  And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom Jehovah, and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.

¹⁹  And again, whom should I serve? should it not be in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.

²⁰  And Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.

²¹  And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art become odious with thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall be strong.
