2 Samuel 16:17-19

17So Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”

18And Hushai said to Absalom, “No, but whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

19Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so will I be in your presence.”
