¹⁵Pa nthawi imeneyi Abisalomu ndi anthu onse, amuna a Israeli, anafika mu Yerusalemu, ndipo Ahitofeli anali naye. ¹⁶Pamene Husai Mwariki, bwenzi la Davide, anafika kwa Abisalomu, Husai anati kwa Abisalomu, “Mfumu ikhale ndi moyo wautali! Mfumu ikhale ndi moyo wautali!”

¹⁷Abisalomu anafunsa Husai, nati, “Kodi uku ndiko kukhulupirika kwako kwa bwenzi lako? Chifukwa chiyani sunapite ndi bwenzi lako?”

¹⁸Husai anati kwa Abisalomu, “Ayi; amene Atate wathu ndi anthu awa ndi amuna onse a Israeli asankha—ndidzakhala wake, ndipo ndidzakhala naye. ¹⁹Komanso, ndani amene ndiyenera kumtumikira? Kodi sayenera kukhala mwana wake? Monga ndinatumikira bambo wako, ndidzakutumikira iwe.”

²⁰Ndipo Abisalomu anati kwa Ahitofeli, “Tipatse uphungu wako. Tichite chiyani?”
