2 Samuel 16:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

Absalom Enters Jerusalem

¹⁵ Meanwhile, Absalom and all Israel’s troops came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him. ¹⁶ When David’s friend Hushai from Archi’s family came to Absalom, he said, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”

¹⁷ “Is that how loyal you are to your friend?” Absalom asked Hushai. “Why didn’t you go with him?”
