2 Samuel 15:2-6

15:2

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}

15:3

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}

15:4

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)_!

15:5

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.

15:6

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>_.
