2 Samuel 16:18 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 16:18

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.”

20 Then Absalom said to ^aAhithophel, “Give advice as to what we should do.”
