2 And Absalom rose early and stood by the hand of the way of the gate: and it will be every man which shall be to him strife coming to the king for judgment, and Absalom will call to him and say, Where, from what city thou? And he will say, of one of the tribes of Israel is thy servant. 3 And Absalom will say to him, See, thy words good and straight, and none to hear to thee from the king. 4 And Absalom will say, Who will set me judge in the land? and to me shall every man come which shall be to him strife and judgment, and I did him justice. 5 And it was in a man's coming near to worship to him, and he stretched forth his hand and laid hold of him, and kissed him. 6 And Absalom will do according to this word to all Israel who will come for judgment to the king: and Absalom will steal the heart of the men of Israel. 2 Samuel 15:2-6, Smith's Literal Translation.
