2 Samuel 16:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness and loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?

¹⁸ Hushai said to Absalom, No, for whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with him I will remain.

¹⁹ And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so will I serve you.
