2 Samuel 16:17

Absalom said to Hushai, "Do you call this loyalty to your friend? Why didn't you go with your friend?"

When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, "Why didn't you go with me, Mephibosheth?"

Is this how you repay the Lord, you foolish, unwise people? Is he not your father, your creator? He has made you and established you.

When David reached the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Arkite met him with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.

A friend loves at all times, and a relative is born to help in adversity.

A person who has friends may be harmed by them, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
