jub - 2Samuel:15:1-12

jub@2Samuel:15:1 @ And it came to pass after this that Absalom prepared himself chariots and horses and fifty men to run before him.

jub@2Samuel:15:2 @ And Absalom rose up early and stood beside the way of the gate; and when anyone that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto them and said, Of what city [art] thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel.

jub@2Samuel:15:3 @ And Absalom would say unto them, See, thy matters [are] good and just; but [there is] no one [delegated] by the king to hear thee.

jub@2Samuel:15:4 @ And Absalom would say, Oh, that I were made judge in the land, that everyone who has any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!

jub@2Samuel:15:5 @ And it was so, that when anyone came near [unto him] to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand and took him and kissed him.

jub@2Samuel:15:6 @ And Absalom did according to this manner with all Israel that came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of those of Israel.

jub@2Samuel:15:7 @ And at the end of [a predetermined period of] forty years, it came to pass that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go to Hebron and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD.

jub@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.

jub@2Samuel:15:9 @ And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose and went to Hebron.

jub@2Samuel:15:10 @ But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the shofar, then ye shall say, Absalom reigns in Hebron.

jub@2Samuel:15:11 @ And two hundred men of Jerusalem went with Absalom, [that were] invited [by him], and they went in their integrity, without knowing anything.

jub@2Samuel:15:12 @ Absalom also sent for Ahithophel, the Gilonite, of David's counsel, from his city, [even] from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
