2 Samuel 16:17-19 David's Sin and Repentance

17 Absalom asked Hushai, “Is this the love you show your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?”

18 Hushai said to Absalom, “No, the one chosen by the Lord, by these people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and I will remain with him.

19 Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve the son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you.”
