* 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 .
