2 Samuel 16:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁸ Hushai answered Absalom, “No, I want to be with the one whom the Lord, these people, and all Israel have chosen. I will be his ⌞friend⌟ and stay with him. ¹⁹ And besides, whom should I serve? Shouldn’t it be his son? As I served your father, so I’ll serve you.”

²⁰ Then Absalom asked Ahithophel, “What’s your advice? What should we do?”
