2 Samuel 16:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ Absalom asked Hushai, ‘Why have you not been faithful to your friend David? Why did you not go with him?’

¹⁸ Hushai replied, ‘No, I will serve you. You are the king that the Lord has chosen. And all these people and the men of Israel have chosen you too. So I will stay with you. ¹⁹ I served your father when he was king. So now it is surely right for me to serve you, his son.’
