2 Samuel 15:3 In-Context

1 Pasado algún tiempo, Absalón consiguió carros de combate, algunos caballos y una escolta de cincuenta soldados.
2 Se levantaba temprano y se ponía a la vera del camino, junto a la entrada de la ciudad. Cuando pasaba alguien que iba a ver al rey para que le resolviera un pleito, Absalón lo llamaba y le preguntaba de qué pueblo venía. Aquel le decía de qué tribu israelita era,
3 y Absalón le aseguraba: «Tu demanda es muy justa, pero no habrá quien te escuche de parte del rey».
4 En seguida añadía: «¡Ojalá me pusieran por juez en el país! Todo el que tuviera un pleito o una demanda vendría a mí, y yo le haría justicia».
5 Además de esto, si alguien se le acercaba para inclinarse ante él, Absalón le tendía los brazos, lo abrazaba y lo saludaba con un beso.
