And when he said, Thy servant is of such a one of the tribes of Israel, ³ Abessalom said to him, Behold thy cause is good, and easily determined, but there is none appointed by the king to hear thee. ⁴ Then would Abessalom say, that they would make me a judge in the land! In that case if any man had a defence to make, or a suit to prosecute, and would come to me, I would do him justice. ⁵ And when any man came to make obeisance to him, he stretched forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. ⁶ In this manner Abessalom acted to all Israel who were coming to the king for judgment, so that Abessalom won the hearts of the men of Israel. ⁷ And at the end of four years Abessalom said to his father, Let me I pray thee go and pay my vows at Chebron, which I vowed to the Lord. ⁸ For when I dwelt at Gedsur, in Syria, thy servant vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord will bring me back to Jerusalem, I will serve the Lord. ⁹ And the king said to him, Go in peace.

Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and throw the blame on us, when he shall smite the city with the edge of the sword. ¹⁵ And the king's servants said to the king, Whatever our lord the king chuseth, behold we thy servants are ready to do. ¹⁶ So the king and all his household, set out on foot, and the king left ten of his concubines to keep the house. ¹⁷ And when the king, with all his servants, on foot, had gone out, they halted at the farthest house, ¹⁸ and all his servants passed on by him, namely, all the Chelethites, and all the Phelethites, and they halted near the olive yard, in the wilderness. And all the people passed by near him. Now all that were around him; all the nobles, and all the warriors, were six hundred men, and while these stood by him, all the Chelethites, and all the Phelethites, and all the Gethites; the six hundred men who had come on foot from Geth, marched on before the king.
