18 Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No! For whom the LORD , this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

2 Samuel 17:15

15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, "This is what Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and this is what I have counseled.
