*
And it came to pass after this ,
that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses ,
and fifty men to run before him .
*
And Absalom rose up early ,
and stood beside the way of the gate sha #
ar #:
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 Yisra #
el #.
*
And Absalom said unto him ,
See ,
thy matters are good and right ;
but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee .
*
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 !
*
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 .
*
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 Yisra #
