  • 2 Sam 15:2-7 : 2 And Absalom rose up early and stood beside the way of the gate, and it was so, that when any man who had a controversy came to the king for judgment, Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city are you? And he said, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel. 3 And Absalom said to him, See, your matters are good and right; but there is no man appointed by the king to hear you. 4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would grant him justice! 5 And it was so, that when any man came near to him to do obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 6 And Absalom did this to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 7 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray you, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.

Why did you not go with your friend? 18 And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel chose, his will I be, and with him will I remain. 19 And again, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence.
