But Absalom said,“ Summon also Hushai the Arkite, so we can hear what he has to say as well.”

Then Absalom said,“ Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say.”

But then Absalom said,“ Bring in Hushai the Arkite. Let’s see what he thinks about this.”

Then Absalom said,“ Summon Hushai the Archite also. Let’s hear what he has to say as well.”

Nevertheless, Absalom said,“ Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let’s hear what he has to say.”

Then Absalom said,“ Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he says too.”

Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.

Then Absalom said,“ Summon Hushai the Archite also. Let’s hear what he has to say as well.”

David arrived at the top of the Mount of Olives. That’s where people used to worship God. Hushai, the Arkite, was there to meet him. His robe was torn. There was dust on his head.David said to him,“ If you go with me, you will be too much trouble for me.So return to the city. Say to Absalom,‘ Your Majesty, I’ll be your servant. In the past, I was your father’s servant. But now I’ll be your servant.’ If you do that, you can help me by making sure Ahithophel’s advice fails.Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, will be there with you. Tell them everything you hear in the king’s palace.They have their sons Ahimaaz and Jonathan there with them. Send them to tell me everything you hear.”So David’s trusted friend Hushai went to Jerusalem. He arrived just as Absalom was entering the city.

Then Hushai, the Arkite, went to Absalom. He said to him,“ May the king live a long time! May the king live a long time!” Hushai was David’s trusted friend.Absalom said to Hushai,“ So this is the way you show love to your friend? If he’s your friend, why didn’t you go with him?”Hushai said to Absalom,“ Why should I? You are the one the Lord has chosen. These people and all the men of Israel have also chosen you. I want to be on your side. I want to stay with you.After all, who else should I serve? Shouldn’t I serve the king’s son? I will serve you, just as I served your father.”
