2 Samuel 15:4 in Context — 2 Samuel 15
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!
5 E acontecia que, quando alguém se chegava para inclinar-se a ele, ele estendia sua mão, e o tomava, e o beijava.
6 E desta maneira fazia com todo Israel que vinha ao rei a juízo: e assim roubava Absalão o coração dos de Israel.
