2 Samuel 16:17

And Absalom said, Is this your love for your friend? why did you not go with your friend?

Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

Is this your answer to the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father who has given you life? He has made you and given you your place.

Now when David had come to the top of the slope, where they gave worship to God, Hushai the Archite came to him in great grief with dust on his head:

A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.

There are friends who may be a man's destruction, but there is a lover who keeps nearer than a brother.
