2 Samuel 15:1-9
1And it came to pass after thisH310, that AbsalomH53 preparedH6213 him chariotsH4818 and horsesH5483, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him. 2And AbsalomH53 rose earlyH7925, and stoodH5975 besideH3027 the wayH1870 of the gateH8179: and it was so, that when any manH376 that had a controversyH7379 cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941, then AbsalomH53 calledH7121 to him, and saidH559, Of whatH335 cityH5892 art thou? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 is oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.1 3And AbsalomH53 saidH559 to him, SeeH7200, thy mattersH1697 are goodH2896 and rightH5228; but there is no man deputed by the kingH4428 to hearH8085 thee.2 4AbsalomH53 saidH559 moreover, O that I were madeH7760 judgeH8199 in the landH776, that every manH376 who hath any suitH7379 or causeH4941 might comeH935 to me, and I would do him justiceH6663! 5And it was so, that when any manH376 came nearH7126 to him to do him obeisanceH7812, he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH2388 him, and kissedH5401 him. 6And in this mannerH1697 didH6213 AbsalomH53 to all IsraelH3478 that cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941: so AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH582 of IsraelH3478.
7And it came to pass afterH7093 fortyH705 yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 saidH559 to the kingH4428, I pray thee, let me goH3212 and payH7999 my vowH5088, which I have vowedH5087 to the LORDH3068, in HebronH2275. 8For thy servantH5650 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 while I abodeH3427 at GeshurH1650 in SyriaH758, sayingH559, If the LORDH3068 shall bring me againH7725 indeed to JerusalemH3389, then I will serveH5647 the LORDH3068. 9And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, GoH3212 in peaceH7965. So he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 to HebronH2275.
