  • 2 Sam 15:2-7 : 2 Absalom would rise early and stand beside the road to the gate. Whenever a man came with a dispute to bring before the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and ask, 'Which city are you from?' And the man would answer, 'Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.' 3 Then Absalom would say to him, 'Look, your claims are good and valid, but there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.' 4 And Absalom would add, 'If only I were appointed judge in the land, then every man who has a dispute or case could come to me, and I would ensure he receives justice.' 5 Whenever a man approached to bow down to him, Absalom would reach out, take hold of him, and kiss him. 6 Absalom behaved in this way toward all the Israelites who came to the king for judgment, and he stole the hearts of the people of Israel. 7 At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, 'Please allow me to go to Hebron to fulfill a vow I made to the LORD.'

Long live the king!" 17 Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this the loyalty you show your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?" 18 Hushai said to Absalom, "No, the one chosen by the Lord, by these people, and all the men of Israel—him I will serve, and with him I will remain. 19 Besides, whom should I serve? Should I not serve his son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you."
