LXX2012(i)
16 And it came to pass when Chusi the chief friend of David came to Abessalom, that Chusi said to Abessalom, Let the king live.
17 And Abessalom said to Chusi, [Is] this your kindness to your friend? why went you not forth with your friend?
18 And Chusi said to Abessalom, Nay, but following whom the Lord, and this people, and all Israel have chosen, —his will I be, and with him I will dwell.
19 And again, whom shall I serve? should I not in the presence of his son? As I served in the sight of your father, so will I be in your presence.
