2 Samuel 15:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

David Overthrown

15 Soon after this, Absalom acquired a chariot, horses, and 50 men to run ahead of him. ² Absalom used to get up early and stand by the road leading to the city gate. When anyone had a case to be tried by King David, Absalom would ask, “Which city are you from?”

After the person had told him which tribe in Israel he was from, ³ Absalom would say, “Your case is good and proper, but the king hasn’t appointed anyone to hear it.”
