2 Samuel 15:1-12

And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that Absalom
<053>

prepared
<06213> (8799)

him chariots
<04818>

and horses
<05483>_,

and fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>

to run
<07323> (8801)

before
<06440>

him.

And Absalom
<053>

rose up early
<07925> (8689)_,

and stood
<05975> (8804)

beside
<03027>

the way
<01870>

of the gate
<08179>_:

and it was [so], that when any man
<0376>

that had a controversy
<07379>

came
<0935> (8800)

to the king
<04428>

for judgment
<04941>_,

then Absalom
<053>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Of what
<0335>

city
<05892>

[art] thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servant
<05650>

[is] of one
<0259>

of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{came: Heb. to come}

And Absalom
<053>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, See
<07200> (8798)_,

thy matters
<01697>

[are] good
<02896>

and right
<05228>_;

but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king
<04428>

to hear
<08085> (8802)

thee. {there...: or, none will hear thee from the king downward}

Absalom
<053>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover, Oh that I were made
<07760> (8799)

judge
<08199> (8802)

in the land
<0776>_,

that every man
<0376>

which hath any suit
<07379>

or cause
<04941>

might come
<0935> (8799)

unto me, and I would do him justice
<06663> (8689)_!

And it was [so], that when any man
<0376>

came nigh
<07126> (8800)

[to him] to do him obeisance
<07812> (8692)_,

he put forth
<07971> (8804)

his hand
<03027>_,

and took
<02388> (8689)

him, and kissed
<05401> (8804)

him.

And on this manner
<01697>

did
<06213> (8799)

Absalom
<053>

to all Israel
<03478>

that came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

for judgment
<04941>_:

so Absalom
<053>

stole
<01589> (8762)

the hearts
<03820>

of the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And it came to pass after
<07093>

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_,

that Absalom
<053>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

I pray thee, let me go
<03212> (8799)

and pay
<07999> (8762)

my vow
<05088>_,

which I have vowed
<05087> (8804)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

in Hebron
<02275>_.

For thy servant
<05650>

vowed
<05087> (8804)

a vow
<05088>

while I abode
<03427> (8800)

at Geshur
<01650>

in Syria
<0758>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If the LORD
<03068>

shall bring me again
<07725> (8799) (8676) <07725> (8686)

indeed to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

then I will serve
<05647> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_.

So he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Hebron
<02275>_.

But Absalom
<053>

sent
<07971> (8799)

spies
<07270> (8764)

throughout all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

As soon as ye hear
<08085> (8800)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

then ye shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Absalom
<053>

reigneth
<04427> (8804)

in Hebron
<02275>_.

And with Absalom
<053>

went
<01980> (8804)

two hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

out of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

[that were] called
<07121> (8803)_;

and they went
<01980> (8802)

in their simplicity
<08537>_,

and they knew
<03045> (8804)

not any thing
<01697>_.

And Absalom
<053>

sent
<07971> (8799)

for Ahithophel
<0302>

the Gilonite
<01526>_,

David's
<01732>

counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,

from his city
<05892>_,

[even] from Giloh
<01542>_,

while he offered
<02076> (8800)

sacrifices
<02077>_.

And the conspiracy
<07195>

was strong
<0533>_;

for the people
<05971>

increased
<07227>

continually
<01980> (8802)

with Absalom
<053>_.
