2 Samuel 16:18-20

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁸ And Hushai saith unto Absalom, `Nay, for he whom Jehovah hath chosen, and this people, even all the men of Israel, his I am, and with him I abide;

¹⁹ and secondly, for whom do I labour? is it not before his son? as I served before thy father so am I before thee.'

²⁰ And Absalom saith unto Ahithophel, `Give for you counsel what we do.'
