2 Samuel 15:1-5
1Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterH4480H310 thisH3651 that 1AbsalomH53 providedH6213 for himself a chariotH4818 and horsesH5483, and fiftyH2572 menH376 2to runH7323 aheadH6440 of him.
2And AbsalomH53 used to riseH7925 earlyH7925 and 3standH5975 besideH5921H3027 the roadH1870 to the gateH8179; and when anyH3605 manH376 whoH834 hadH1961 a lawsuitH7379 was to comeH935 beforeH413 the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941, AbsalomH53 would callH7121 outH7121 to him and sayH559, “From whatH2088H335 cityH5892 are you?” And he would sayH559, “Your servantH5650 is from oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.”
3Then AbsalomH53 would sayH559 to him, “SeeH7200, 4your 5claimsH1697 are goodH2896 and rightH5228, but you have noH369 one to listenH8085 to you on the partH4480H854 of the kingH4428.”
4Moreover, AbsalomH53 would sayH559, “6OhH4310 that someone would appointH7760 me judgeH8199 in the landH776, then everyH3605 manH376 whoH834 hasH1961 a lawsuitH7379 or claimH4941 could comeH935 to me, and I would giveH6663 him justiceH6663!”
5And whenever a manH376 approachedH7126 to prostrateH2331 himself before him, he would putH7971 outH7971 his handH3027 and takeH2388 holdH2388 of him and 7kissH5401 him.
