2 Samuel 15:2-3

15:2 Now Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road that led to the city gate. Whenever anyone came by who had a complaint to bring to the king for arbitration, Absalom would call out to him, “What city are you from?” The person would answer, “I, your servant, ¹  am from one of the tribes of Israel.” 15:3 Absalom would then say to him, “Look, your claims are legitimate and appropriate. ²  But there is no representative of the king who will listen to you.”

[15:2]  ¹ tn Heb “your servant.” So also in vv. 8, 15, 21.

[15:3]  ² tn Heb “good and straight.”
