2 Samuel 15:1-4

2 Samuel 15:1-4

[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 up 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  unto him, and said,  Of what  city  art thou? And he said,  Thy servant  is of one  of the tribes  of Israel.  [3] And Absalom  said  unto him, See,  thy matters  are good  and right;  but there is no man deputed of the king  to hear  thee. [4] 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!
