And Absalom will say to Hushai, This thy mercy with thy friend? wherefore wentest thou not with thy friend?
And Hushai will say to Absalom, Nay; for whom Jehovah chose and this people, and every man of Israel, shall I not be and dwell with him?
And it will be when he came to Jerusalem to the meeting of the king, and the king will say to him, Wherefore wentest thou not with me, Mephibosheth?
A friend loves in all time, and a brother shall be born for straits.
A man of friends for making friendship: and there is love attaching more than a brother.
To Jehovah will ye recompense this, A people foolish and not wise? He thy father: did he not buy thee? He made thee, and he will protect thee.
