2 Samuel 15:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

Absalom’s Conspiracy

15 Now it came about after this that ^(A)Absalom provided for himself a chariot and horses and fifty men as runners before him. ² Absalom used to rise early and ^(B)stand beside the way to the gate; and when any man had a suit to come to the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say, “From what city are you?” And he would say, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.” ³ Then Absalom would say to him, “See, ^(C)your ^[a]claims are good and right, but no man listens to you on the part of the king.”
