Hushai
«And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.»
«Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.»
«And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head: / Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me: / But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.»
«For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.»
«And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.»
«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, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.»
«And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim: / The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan: / The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher: / The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife: / Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam: / The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brasen bars: / Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim: / Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife: / Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth: / Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar: / Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin: / Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.»
