Thematic Bible: Hushai deceives absalom

And as soon as he was come, Hushai the Archite went unto Absalom and said unto him, "God save the king, God save the king." And Absalom said again to Hushai, "Is this the kindness thou owest to thy friend? Why wentest thou not with him?" read more.
And Hushai said unto Absalom, "Nay, not so: but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with him will I dwell. And furthermore, unto whom shall I do service but even to his son? And as I was servant before with thy father, even so shall I be with thee."
