2 Samuel 15:1It happened after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.2 Samuel 15:2Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. It was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”2 Samuel 15:3Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”2 Samuel 15:4Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”2 Samuel 15:5It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.2 Samuel 15:6Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.1 Kings 1:7He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
