1 Aconteceu depois disto, que Absalão se fez de carros e cavalos, e cinquenta que corressem diante dele.
2 E levantava-se Absalão de manhã, e punha-se a um lado do caminho da porta; e a qualquer um que tinha pleito e vinha ao rei a juízo, Absalão lhe chamava a si, e dizia-lhe: De que cidade és? E ele respondia: Teu servo é de uma das tribos de Israel.
3 Então Absalão lhe dizia: Olha que tuas palavras são boas e justas: mas não tens quem te ouça pelo rei.
4 E dizia Absalão: Quem me dera se eu fosse constituído juiz na terra, para que viessem a mim todos os que têm pleito ou negócio, que eu lhes faria justiça!
