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.”
20 Then Absalom said to aAhithophel, “Give advice as to what we should do.”
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s aconcubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you bare abhorred by your father. Then cthe hands of all who are with you will be strong.”
