*
And David said to Abishai ,
and to all his servants ,
Behold ,
my son ,
which came forth of my bowels me #
ah #,
seeketh my life :
how much more now may this Benjamite Ben-y @
miyniy #
do it ?
let him alone ,
and let him curse ;
for the LORD hath bidden him .
*
It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction #,
and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day .
*
And as David and his men went by the way ,
Shimei went along on the hills side over against him ,
and cursed as he went ,
and threw stones at him ,
and cast dust .
*
And the king ,
and all the people that were with him ,
came weary ,
and refreshed themselves there .
*
And Absalom ,
and all the people the men of Israel Yisra #
el #,
came to Jerusalem ,
and Ahithophel with him .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Hushai the Archite ,
Davids friend re #
eh #,
was come unto Absalom ,
that Hushai said unto Absalom ,
God save the king ,
God save the king .
*
And Absalom said to Hushai ,
Is this thy kindness to thy friend ?
why wentest thou not with thy friend ?
*
And Hushai said unto Absalom ,
Nay ;
but whom the LORD ,
and this people ,
and all the men of Israel Yisra #
el #,
choose ,
his will I be ,
and with him will I abide .
*
And again ,
whom should I serve ?
should I not serve in the presence of his son ?
as I have served in thy fathers presence ,
so will I be in thy presence .
*
Then said Absalom to Ahithophel ,
Give counsel among you what we shall do .
*
And Ahithophel said unto Absalom ,
Go in unto thy fathers concubines ,
which he hath left to keep the house ;
and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father :
then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong .
