2 Samuel 16:17

New Living Translation

“Is this the way you treat your friend David?” Absalom asked him. “Why aren’t you with him?”

See the chapter Copy

“I’m here because I belong to the man who is chosen by the Lord and by all the men of Israel,” Hushai replied.

“Why didn’t you come with me, Mephibosheth?” the king asked him.

A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.

There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.

Is this the way you repay the Lord, you foolish and senseless people? Isn’t he your Father who created you? Has he not made you and established you?
