2 And Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road. Then when anyone had a dispute which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom would call out to him and say, |What city are you from?| When he said, |Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,| 3 then Absalom would say to him, |Look, your matters are good and right; but there is no one from the king to hear you.| 4 And Absalom would say, |Oh that I were made judge in the land, then anyone who had a dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.| 2 Samuel 15:2-4, New Heart English Bible.
