2 Samuel 16:15-22

15Then AbsalomH53 and allH3605H5971 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and AhithophelH302 was with himH854. 16AndH1961 David’sH1732 friendH7463 HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 wentH935 toH413 AbsalomH53 and saidH559 toH413 him, “Long liveH2421 the kingH4428! Long liveH2421 the kingH4428!”

17“Is thisH2088 the loyaltyH2617 you show your friendH7453?” AbsalomH53 repliedH559H413H2365. “WhyH4100 did you notH3808 goH1980 withH854 your friendH7453?”

18“Not at allH3808,” HushaiH2365H413 answeredH559. “ForH3588 the oneH834 chosenH977 by the LORDH3068, by thisH2088 peopleH5971, and by allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478—hisH3808 I will beH1961, and with himH854 I will remainH3427. 19FurthermoreH8145, whomH4310 should IH589 serveH5647 if notH3808 his sonH1121? AsH834 I servedH5647 in your father’sH1 presenceH6440, so alsoH3651 I will serveH1961H6440 in yoursH6440.”

20Then AbsalomH53 saidH559 toH413 AhithophelH302, “Give meH3051 counselH6098. WhatH4100 should we doH6213?”

21AhithophelH302 repliedH559, “Sleep withH935H413 your father’sH1 concubinesH6370, whomH834 he has leftH5117 to take care ofH8104 the palaceH1004. When allH3605 IsraelH3478 hearsH8085 thatH3588 you have become a stenchH887 toH854 your fatherH1, then the handsH3027 of allH3605 who areH834 with youH854 will be strengthenedH2388.”

22So they pitchedH5186 a tentH168 for AbsalomH53 onH5921 the roofH1406, and heH53 slept withH935H413 his father’sH1 concubinesH6370 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478.
