2 Samuel 16:15 in context

The verses around it, from 2 Samuel 16.

11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my own son, my own flesh and blood, seeks my life. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse me, for the LORD has told him so.

12 Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and repay me with good for the cursing I receive today.”

13 So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei went along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he yelled curses, threw stones, and flung dust at David.

14 Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived, exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.

15 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.

16 And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”

17 “Is this the loyalty you show your friend?” Absalom replied. “Why did you not go with your friend?”

18 “Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain.

19 Furthermore, whom should I serve if not the son? As I served in your father’s presence, so also I will serve in yours.”
