International Children’s Bible

Absalom Plans to Take David’s Kingdom

15 After this, Absalom got a chariot and horses for himself. He got 50 men to run before him. ² Absalom would get up early and stand near the city gate.^[a] If anyone had a problem he wanted the king to settle, he would come here. When he came, Absalom would call to the man. Absalom would say, “What city are you from?”

The man would answer, “I’m from one of the tribes of Israel.”
