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

But Absalom said,“ Send for Hushai, the Arkite. Then we can find out what he suggests as well.”

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

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.”

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

But Absalom said,“ Call for Hushai the Arkite, and let’s hear what he has to say.”

Then Absalom said,“ Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let’s hear likewise what he says.”

When David reached the summit of the Mount of Olives where people worshiped God, Hushai the Arkite was waiting there for him. Hushai had torn his clothing and put dirt on his head as a sign of mourning.But David told him,“ If you go with me, you will only be a burden.Return to Jerusalem and tell Absalom,‘ I will now be your adviser, O king, just as I was your father’s adviser in the past.’ Then you can frustrate and counter Ahithophel’s advice.Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, will be there. Tell them about the plans being made in the king’s palace,and they will send their sons Ahimaaz and Jonathan to tell me what is going on.”So David’s friend Hushai returned to Jerusalem, getting there just as Absalom arrived.

When David’s friend Hushai the Arkite arrived, he went immediately to see Absalom.“ Long live the king!” he exclaimed.“ Long live the king!”“ Is this the way you treat your friend David?” Absalom asked him.“ Why aren’t you with him?”“ I’m here because I belong to the man who is chosen by the Lord and by all the men of Israel,” Hushai replied.“ And anyway, why shouldn’t I serve you? Just as I was your father’s adviser, now I will be your adviser!”
