2 Samuel 16:15-22
15And AbsalomH53, and all the peopleH5971 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and AhithophelH302 with him. 16And it came to pass, when HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757, David’sH1732 friendH7463, had comeH935 to AbsalomH53, that HushaiH2365 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, God saveH2421 the kingH4428, God saveH2421 the kingH4428.1 17And AbsalomH53 saidH559 to HushaiH2365, Is this thy kindnessH2617 to thy friendH7453? why wentestH1980 thou not with thy friendH7453? 18And HushaiH2365 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, Nay; but whom the LORDH3068, and this peopleH5971, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, chooseH977, his will I be, and with him will I abideH3427. 19And againH8145, whom should I serveH5647? should I not serve in the presenceH6440 of his sonH1121? as I have servedH5647 in thy father’sH1 presenceH6440, so will I be in thy presenceH6440. 20Then saidH559 AbsalomH53 to AhithophelH302, GiveH3051 counselH6098 among you what we shall doH6213. 21And AhithophelH302 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, Go inH935 to thy father’sH1 concubinesH6370, which he hath leftH3240 to keepH8104 the houseH1004; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085 that thou art abhorredH887 by thy fatherH1: then shall the handsH3027 of all that are with thee be strongH2388. 22So they spreadH5186 AbsalomH53 a tentH168 upon the top of the houseH1406; and AbsalomH53 went inH935 to his father’sH1 concubinesH6370 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478.
