2 Samuel 15:2-4 ▼

2 He (my father is peace) would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel (he wrestles with God),”

3 Absalom (my father is peace) would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”

4 And he (my father is peace) would add, “If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.”
