However, the role and actions of Chushai can be compared to other figures of loyalty and counsel in the Greek Scriptures, though no specific Strong's Greek number corresponds directly to Chushai. Usage: Chushai is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Chushai the Archite is a notable figure in the Old Testament, particularly in the narrative surrounding King David. He is described as a loyal friend and advisor to David. During Absalom's rebellion, Chushai plays a critical role in thwarting the counsel of Ahithophel, who had sided with Absalom. At David's request, Chushai returns to Jerusalem to act as a spy and to counter Ahithophel's advice. His intervention is pivotal in ensuring David's eventual victory over Absalom. The account of Chushai's actions can be found in 2 Samuel 15:32-37, 16:16-19, and 17:5-14. In 2 Samuel 15:37, the Berean Standard Bible states, "So David’s friend Hushai went into the city, and Absalom also entered Jerusalem." Chushai's loyalty and strategic acumen highlight his importance in the biblical narrative as a wise and faithful supporter of the king.
