2 Samuel 16:15-19
1599 Geneva Bible
15 ¶ And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, was come unto Absalom, Hushai said unto Absalom, [a]God save the King, God save the King.
17 Then Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy [b]friend? Why wentest thou not with thy friend?
18 Hushai then answered unto Absalom, Nay, but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with them will I dwell.
19 And [c]moreover, unto whom shall I do service? not to his son? as I served before thy father, so will I before thee.
