2 Samuel 16:17 WEB

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.

¹⁹  Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn't I serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence.
