2 Samuel 16:17

Modern King James Version

And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?

See the chapter Copy

And it happened when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?

A man who has friends may be broken up, but there is a Lover who sticks closer than a brother.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for the time of trouble.

Do you thus give back to Jehovah, Oh foolish and unwise people? Is He not your Father who bought you? Has He not made you and established you?

And Hushai said to Absalom, No, but whom Jehovah and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and I will stay with him.
