Absalom used to rise early in the morning, and he stood {beside} the road [at] the gate; {anyone} who had a legal dispute to bring to the king for judgment Absalom would call to him and say, "{Where are you from?}" And he would say, "Your servant [is] from one of the tribes of Israel."

Then Absalom said, "Please call also for Hushai the Arkite, and let us hear {what he has to say} also."

I call [upon] Yahweh who is praiseworthy, and I [am] saved from those who hate me.
