Leeser(i)
17 And Abshalom said to Chushai, Is this thy kindness for thy friend? why art thou not gone with thy friend?
18 And Chushai said unto Abshalom, No; but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I remain.
19 And secondly, who is it whom I shall serve? is it not in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence.
