14 The king, and all the people who were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.
15 Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 It happened, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, [Long] live the king, [Long] live the king.
17 Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn't you go with your friend?
18 Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom Yahweh, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
