2 Samuel 16:17

“Is this your loyalty to your friend?” Absalom asked Hushai. “Why didn’t you go with your friend?”

When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, “Mephibosheth, why didn’t you come with me?”

Is this how you repay the Lord,
you foolish and senseless people?
Isn’t He your Father and Creator?
Didn’t He make you and sustain you?

When David came to the summit where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.

A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a difficult time.

A man with many friends may be harmed,
but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
