2 Samuel 16:16-19

16Now it came about, when 1Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, came to Absalom, that 2Hushai said to Absalom, “3Long live the king! Long live the king!” 17But Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your 4loyalty to your friend? 5Why did you not go with your friend?” 18So Hushai said to Absalom, “No! For whomever the Lord, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I shall be, and with him I shall remain. 19Besides, 6whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? Just as I have served in your father’s presence, so I shall be in your presence.”
