The Advice of Ahithophel
15 Meanwhile aAbsalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem; and Ahithophel was with him.
16 And so it was, when Hushai the Archite, aDavid’s friend, came to Absalom, that bHushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
17 So Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? aWhy did you not go with your friend?”
18 And 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.
19 Furthermore, awhom 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.”
