2 Samuel 16:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Absalom asked, “Why are you not loyal to your friend David? Why didn’t you leave Jerusalem with your friend?”

¹⁸ Hushai said, “I belong to the one chosen by the Lord and by these people and all the men of Israel. I will stay with you. ¹⁹ In the past I served your father. So whom should I serve now? David’s son! I will serve you.”
