2 Samuel 16:18-19

Context
16:18 Hushai replied to Absalom, “No, I will be loyal to the one whom the Lord, these people, and all the men of Israel have chosen. 1  16:19 Moreover, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you.” 2 

1 tn Heb “No for with the one whom the Lord has chosen, and this people, and all the men of Israel, I will be and with him I will stay.” The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew mss in reading לוֹ (lo, “[I will be] to him”) rather than the MT לֹא (lo’, “[I will] not be”), which makes very little sense here.

2 tn Heb “Just as I served before your father, so I will be before you.”
