2 Samuel 16:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ Then Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this the extent of your commitment to your friend? Why have you not gone with your friend?”

¹⁸ Hushai said to Absalom, “No! For whom the Lord, this people, and all men of Israel have chosen, his I will be and with him I will remain. ¹⁹ Furthermore, whom shall I serve? Should it not be his son? As I served your father, so shall I be with you.”
