2 Samuel 15:2; 2 Samuel 15:4; 2 Samuel 22:44

2 Absalom used to rise early and 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."

4 Moreover, Absalom would say, "Oh that one would appoint me judge in the land, then every man who has any suit or cause could come to me and I would give him justice."

44 "You have also delivered me from the contentions of my people; You have kept me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me.
