2 Samuel 15

AFTER THIS, Absalom got a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him. And he rose up early and stood beside the gateway; and when any man who had a controversy came to the king for judgment, Absalom called to him, Of what city are you? And he would say, Your servant is of such and such a tribe of Israel.

Absalom would say to him, Your claims are good and right, but there is no man appointed as the king's agent to hear you.

Absalom added, Oh, that I were judge in the land! Then every man with any suit or cause might come to me and I would do him justice!

And whenever a man came near to do obeisance to him, he would put out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him. He did this so he could win the hearts of the people, and they would want him to be king instead of Solomon. One day he said to David, 'Dad,I have to go complete a vow in Hebron.' So he went. but instead of the vow, he sent spies throughout the Land and told them that when the trumpet sounded, to say, 'Absalom is king!' Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, who were invited and went innocently, and they did not know anything. Poor people. Poor David. Absalom Is deceiving everyone! Imagine what would happen when David finds out. Do you think he would completely crush Absalom! What would he do?
