@ And it came to pass after
this
, that
Absalom
prepared
him
chariots
and
horses
, and
fifty
men
to
run
before
him.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:2
@ And
Absalom
rose up
early
, and
stood
beside
the
way
of the
gate
: and it was so, that when any
man
that had a
controversy
came
to the
king
for
judgment
, then
Absalom
called
unto him, and
said
, Of
what
city
art thou? And he
said
, Thy
servant
is of
one
of the
tribes
of
Israel
.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:3
@ And
Absalom
said
unto him,
See
, thy
matters
are
good
and
right
; but there is no man deputed of the
king
to
hear
thee.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:4
@
Absalom
said
moreover, Oh that I were
made
judge
in the
land
, that every
man
which hath any
suit
or
cause
might
come
unto me, and I would do him
justice
!
strkjv@2Samuel:15:5
@ And it was so, that when any
man
came
nigh
to him to do him
obeisance
, he put
forth
his
hand
, and
took
him, and
kissed
him.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:6
@ And on this
manner
did
Absalom
to all
Israel
that
came
to the
king
for
judgment
: so
Absalom
stole
the
hearts
of the
men
of
Israel
.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:7
@ And it came to pass
after
forty
years
, that
Absalom
said
unto the
king
, I pray thee, let me
go
and
pay
my
vow
, which I have
vowed
unto the
LORD
, in
Hebron
.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:8
@ For thy
servant
vowed
a
vow
while I
abode
at
Geshur
in
Syria
,
saying
, If the
LORD
shall bring me
again
indeed to
Jerusalem
, then I will
serve
the
LORD
.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:9
@ And the
king
said
unto him,
Go
in
peace
. So he
arose
, and
went
to
Hebron
.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:10
@ But
Absalom
sent
spies
throughout all the
tribes
of
Israel
,
saying
, As soon as ye
hear
the
sound
of the
trumpet
, then ye shall
say
,
Absalom
reigneth
in
Hebron
.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:11
@ And with
Absalom
went
two
hundred
men
out of
Jerusalem
, that were
called
; and they
went
in their
simplicity
, and they
knew
not any
thing
.
strkjv@2Samuel:15:12
@ And
Absalom
sent
for
Ahithophel
the
Gilonite
,
Davids
counsellor
, from his
city
, even from
Giloh
, while he
offered
sacrifices
. And the
conspiracy
was
strong
; for the
people
increased
continually
with
Absalom
.
