2 Samuel 16:17-19

English Standard Version

¹⁷ And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? ^(A)Why did you not go with your friend?” ¹⁸ And Hushai said to Absalom, “No, for whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain. ¹⁹ And again, ^(B)whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you.”
