2 Samuel 15:1-9

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 afterH310 this, that AbsalomH53 preparedH6213 him a chariotH4818 and horsesH5483, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him.

2And AbsalomH53 roseH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925, and stoodH5975 besideH5921 the wayH1870 of the gateH8179: and it was soH7121, that when anyH3605 manH376 had a suitH7379 whichH834 should comeH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941, then AbsalomH53 calledH7121 unto him, and saidH559, Of whatH834 cityH5892 art thou? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 is of one of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.

3And AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto him, SeeH7200, thy mattersH1697 are goodH2896 and rightH5228; but there is noH369 manH369 deputed of the kingH4428 to hearH8085 thee.

4AbsalomH53 saidH559 moreoverH1961, OhH4310 that I were madeH7760 judgeH8199 in the landH776, that everyH3605 manH376 whichH834 hath anyH3605 suitH7379 or causeH7379 might comeH935 unto meH5921, and I would doH4310 him justiceH4941!

5And it was soH7971, that when anyH376 manH376 cameH1961 nigh to doH3027 him obeisance, he putH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH2388 holdH2388 of him, and kissedH5401 him.

6And on this mannerH1697 didH6213 AbsalomH53 to allH3605 IsraelH3478 that cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941: soH6213 AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478.

7And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the endH7093 of fortyH705 yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, I prayH4994 thee, letH4994 meH413 goH1961 and payH7999 my vowH5088, whichH834 I have vowedH5087 unto the LORDH3068, in HebronH2275.

8For thy servantH5650 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 whileH3588 I abodeH3427 at GeshurH1650 in SyriaH758, sayingH559, IfH518 the LORDH3068 shall indeedH3588 bringH7725 meH7725 againH7725 to JerusalemH3389, then I will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.

9And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, GoH6965 in peaceH7965. SoH6965 he aroseH6965, and wentH6965 to HebronH2275.
