2 Samuel 8:15; 2 Samuel 15:2; 2 Samuel 15:4; 2 Samuel 15:6; 2 Samuel 22:23

15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!

6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
