2 Samuel 15:33-35

Contemporary English Version

³³ David told him:

If you come with me, you might slow us down.^{[a] 34} Go back into the city and tell Absalom, “Your Majesty, I am your servant. I will serve you now, just as I served your father in the past.”

Hushai, if you do that, you can help me ruin Ahithophel's plans. ³⁵ Zadok and Abiathar the priests will be there with you, and you can tell them everything you hear in the palace.
