2 Samuel 16:15-22
15And AbsalomH53, and all the peopleH5971, the menH376 of IsraelH3478, cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and AhithophelH302 with him. 16And it cameH935 to pass, when HushaiH2365 the Archite, David’s friendH7463, wasH1961 comeH935 unto AbsalomH53, that HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Long liveH2421 the kingH4428, Long liveH2421 the kingH4428. 17And AbsalomH53 saidH559 to HushaiH2365, Is this thy kindness to thy friendH7453? whyH4100 wentest thou not with thy friendH7453? 18And HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Nay; but whom Jehovah, and this peopleH5971, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 have chosenH977, his will I beH1961, and with him will I abide. 19And again, whom should I serveH5647? should I not serveH5647 in the presenceH6440 of his sonH1121? as I have servedH5647 in thy father’sH1 presenceH6440, soH3651 will I beH1961 in thy presenceH6440.
20Then saidH559 AbsalomH53 to AhithophelH302, GiveH3051 your counselH6098 what we shall do. 21And AhithophelH302 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, GoH935 in unto thy father’sH1 concubinesH6370, that he hath left to keepH8104 the houseH1004; and all IsraelH3478 will hearH8085 that thou art abhorred of thy fatherH1: then will the handsH3027 of all that are with thee be strongH2388. 22So they spreadH5186 AbsalomH53 a tentH168 upon the topH1406 of the house; and AbsalomH53 wentH935 in unto his father’sH1 concubinesH6370 in the sight of all IsraelH3478.
