2 Samuel 15:2 WBT

¹  And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

²  And Absalom rose 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 to him, and said, Of what city [art] thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] one of the tribes of Israel.

³  And Absalom said to him, See, thy matters [are] good and right; but [there is] no man [deputed] by the king to hear thee.

⁴  Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!
