1 It happened after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 Absalom 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.|
3 Absalom said to him, |Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.|
4 Absalom 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!|
5 It 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.
6 Absalom 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.
