16 And when Hushai the Archite, a David’s friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, b “Long live the king! Long live the king!” 17 And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? c 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.
