Then Hushai the Arkite, David's confidant, went to Absalom and said to him, "Long live the king! Long live the king!" Hushai said to Absalom, "No, the one chosen by the Lord, by these people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and I will remain with him.

2 Samuel 15

Then David said to Zadok, "Take the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the Lord's eyes, he will bring me back and let me see it and his dwelling place again. But if he says, 'I am not pleased with you,' then I am ready; let him do to me whatever seems good to him."    David acknowledged God and both His goodness and sovereignty and expressed his trust in God's will as the best outcome.
