King James Version with Apocrypha
"And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee."
— 2 Samuel 15:3, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.”
“And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee. ”
“Absalom said to him, "Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you."”
“Absalom would then say to him,“Look, your claims are legitimate and appropriate. But there is no representative of the king who will listen to you.””
“And Absalom answered him: Thy words seem to me good and just. But there is no man appointed by the king to hear thee. And Absalom said:”
“And Absalom would say to him, See, your cause is true and right; but no man has been named by the king to give you a hearing.”
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
