2 Samuel

  • Absalom's Conspiracy

  • |2 Samuel 15:1| Now it came about after this that Absalom provided for himself a chariot and horses and fifty men as runners before him.

  • |2 Samuel 15:2| Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the way to the gate; and when any man had a suit to come to the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say, "From what city are you?" And he would say, "Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel."

  • |2 Samuel 15:3| Then Absalom would say to him, "See, your claims are good and right, but no man listens to you on the part of the king."

  • |2 Samuel 15:4| Moreover, Absalom would say, "Oh that one would appoint me judge in the land, then every man who has any suit or cause could come to me and I would give him justice."

  • |2 Samuel 15:5| And when a man came near to prostrate himself before him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.

  • |2 Samuel 15:6| In this manner Absalom dealt with all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole away the hearts of the men of Israel.

  • |2 Samuel 15:7| Now it came about at the end of forty years that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow which I have vowed to the Lord, in Hebron.

  • |2 Samuel 15:8| For your servant vowed a vow while I was living at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If the Lord shall indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.'"

  • |2 Samuel 15:9| The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose and went to Hebron.

  • |2 Samuel 15:10| But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron.'"
