2 Samuel 16:15-22
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? Should I not serve in the presenceH6440 of his sonH1121? As I have servedH5647 in your father’sH1 presenceH6440, soH3651 I will be in your presenceH6440.”
20Then AbsalomH53 saidH559 to AhithophelH302, “GiveH3051 your adviceH6098. WhatH4100 shall we doH6213?” 21AhithophelH302 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, “8GoH935 in to your father’sH1 concubinesH6370, whomH834 he has leftH5117 to keepH8104 the houseH1004; then allH3605 IsraelH3478 will hearH8085 that you have madeH887 yourself odiousH887 to your fatherH1. The handsH3027 of allH3605 whoH834 are with you will also be strengthenedH2388.” 22So they pitchedH5186 a tentH168 for AbsalomH53 on the roofH1406, 9and AbsalomH53 wentH935 in to his father’sH1 concubinesH6370 10in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478.
