2 Samuel 16:17
15 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
16 And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
“Is this the loyalty you show your friend?” Absalom replied. “Why did you not go with your friend?”
18 “Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain.
19 Furthermore, whom should I serve if not the son? As I served in your father’s presence, so also I will serve in yours.”
