2 Samuel 15:4 in Context — 2 Samuel 15
2 Il se levait de bon matin, et se tenait au bord du chemin de la porte. Et chaque fois qu’un homme ayant une contestation se rendait vers le roi pour obtenir un jugement, Absalom l’appelait, et disait: De quelle ville es-tu? Lorsqu’il avait répondu: Je suis d’une telle tribu d’Israël,
3 Absalom lui disait: Vois, ta cause est bonne et juste; mais personne de chez le roi ne t’écoutera.
4 Absalom disait: Qui m’établira juge dans le pays? Tout homme qui aurait une contestation et un procès viendrait à moi, et je lui ferais justice.
5 Et quand quelqu’un s’approchait pour se prosterner devant lui, il lui tendait la main, le saisissait et l’embrassait.
6 Absalom agissait ainsi à l’égard de tous ceux d’Israël, qui se rendaient vers le roi pour demander justice. Et Absalom gagnait le cœur des gens d’Israël.
