2 Samuel 16:15-22

15Now 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, cameH935 to AbsalomH53, that HushaiH2365 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, Long liveH2421 the kingH4428! Long liveH2421 the kingH4428!

17And AbsalomH53 saidH559 to HushaiH2365, Is this thy kindness to thy friendH7453? whyH4100 didst thou not goH1980 with thy friendH7453?

18And HushaiH2365 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, No; but whom Jehovah, and this peopleH5971, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 chooseH977, his will I beH1961, and with him will I abide.

19And again, whom should I serveH5647? should it not beH1961 in the presenceH6440 of his sonH1121? as I have servedH5647 in thy father's presenceH6440, soH3651 will I beH1961 in thy presenceH6440.

20And AbsalomH53 saidH559 to AhithophelH302, GiveH3051 counselH6098 among you what we shall do.

21And AhithophelH302 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, GoH935 in to thy father's concubinesH6370, whom he has left to keepH8104 the houseH1004; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085 that thou art becomeH887 odiousH887 with thy fatherH1; and the handsH3027 of all that are with thee shall be strongH2388.

22So they spreadH5186 a tentH168 for AbsalomH53 upon the roofH1406; and AbsalomH53 wentH935 in to his father's concubinesH6370 in the sight of all IsraelH3478.
