2 Samuel 16:19 in Context — 2 Samuel 16
17 E Absalão disse a Husai: Este é teu agradecimento para com teu amigo? Por que não foste com teu amigo?
18 E Husai respondeu a Absalão: Não; mas sim a quem o SENHOR escolher, assim como este povo e todos os homens de Israel, dele serei eu, e com ele permanecerei.
19 E a quem havia eu de servir? Não seria a seu filho? Como servi diante de teu pai, assim serei diante de ti.
20 Então disse Absalão a Aitofel: Consultai que faremos.
21 E Aitofel disse a Absalão: Entra às concubinas de teu pai, que ele deixou para guardar a casa; e todo aquele povo de Israel ouvirá que te fizeste aborrecível a teu pai, e assim se esforçarão as mãos de todos os que estão contigo.
