2 Samuel 15:1Some time later, Absalom provided for himself a chariot with horses and fifty men to run ahead of him.2 Samuel 15:2He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”2 Samuel 15:3Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”2 Samuel 15:4And he would add, “If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.”2 Samuel 15:5Also, when anyone approached to bow down to him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him.2 Samuel 15:6Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to the king for justice. In this way he stole the hearts of the men of Israel.1 Kings 1:7So Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, who supported him.
