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.”  
22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines ain the sight of all Israel.  
23 Now the advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one had inquired at the oracle of God. So was all the advice of Ahithophel aboth with David and with Absalom.
