Absalom comes to Jerusalem, and Hushai, David’s friend, comes to Absalom

압살롬이 예루살렘에 이르고 다윗의 친구 후새가 압살롬에게 나아옴

2 Samuel 16:15–19: Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, come to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. When Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, has come to Absalom, Hushai says to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!” Absalom says to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?” Hushai says to Absalom, “No; but whomever the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, I will be his, and I will stay with him. Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn’t I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so I will be in your presence.”
