And all the men of Israel that had complaints and came to the king for judgment, he called unto him, and said, "Of what city art thou?" And when the other answered, "thy servant is of such a tribe of Israel," ³ then said Absalom unto him, "See, thy matter is good and righteous, and yet no man is deputed of the king to hear thee." ⁴ Then Absalom said moreover, "Oh, that I were a judge in the land, and that all men which have pleas and matter in the law, should come to me. For I would do them justice."
