151Then AbsalomH53 and allH3605 the peopleH5971, the menH376 of IsraelH3478, enteredH935 JerusalemH3389, and AhithophelH302 with him. 16Now it cameH1961 about whenH3512 2HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757, David’sH1732 friendH7463, cameH935 to AbsalomH53, that 3HushaiH2365 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, “4Long liveH2421 the kingH4428! Long liveH2421 the kingH4428!” 17AbsalomH53 saidH559 to HushaiH2365, “Is thisH2088 your 5loyaltyH2617 to your friendH7453? 6WhyH4100 did you not goH1980 with your friendH7453?” 18Then HushaiH2365 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, “NoH3808! For whomH834 the LordH3068, thisH2088 peopleH5971, and allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 have chosenH977, his I will be, and with him I will remainH3427. 19BesidesH8145, 7whomH4310 should I serveH5647?
