2 Samuel 3:36

All the people noticed this and it pleased them. In fact, everything the king did pleased all the people.

Absalom acted this way toward everyone in Israel who came to the king for justice. In this way Absalom won the loyalty of the citizens of Israel.

Then a messenger came to David and reported, "The men of Israel are loyal to Absalom!"

Men are nothing but a mere breath; human beings are unreliable. When they are weighed in the scales, all of them together are lighter than air.

People were completely astounded and said, "He has done everything well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."

But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas instead.
