"Absalom said to him, "Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.""
— 2 Samuel 15:3, World English Bible
“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 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 Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.”
It happened after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. It was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, "What city are you from?" He said, "Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel."
Absalom said to him, "Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you."
Absalom said moreover, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!"
It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
