Löydetty 116 Tulokset: Absalom's rebellion
For two years Absalom stayed in Jerusalem but the king did not receive him. (2 Samuel 14, 28)
Absalom called for Joab to send him to the king, but Joab refused to see him. He called for him a second time but Joab would not come. (2 Samuel 14, 29)
So Absalom said to his servants, "You know Joab's field which is next to mine, planted with barley. Go set it on fire." And so they did. Then the servants of Joab came to him to tell him, "The servants of Absalom set your field on fire." (2 Samuel 14, 30)
Then Joab went to Absalom's house and asked him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?" (2 Samuel 14, 31)
Absalom replied, "Come over, for I want to send you to the king with this message, 'Why did you let me return from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there yet.' Now I want to be received by the king. If I am guilty, let him send me to death!" (2 Samuel 14, 32)
Joab went to the king and brought him the message. So the king called for Absalom who appeared before the king, bowing low with his face to the ground. And the king embraced Absalom. (2 Samuel 14, 33)
After this, Absalom got himself a chariot and horses, as well as fifty men to run before him. (2 Samuel 15, 1)
Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the gateway. Whenever a man with a grievance came before the king's tribunal, Absalom would call to him and say, "From which city are you?" Should he say, "Your servant is from such and such a tribe in Israel," (2 Samuel 15, 2)
Absalom would tell him, "Your cause is good and just but there is no one to hear you on behalf of the king." (2 Samuel 15, 3)
Absalom added, "I wish I were judge in the land! Then every man with a grievance or cause could come to me and I would give him justice." (2 Samuel 15, 4)
Absalom did this to all Israelites who came to the tribunal of the king, winning their hearts for himself. (2 Samuel 15, 6)
After four years, Absalom said to the king, "Please allow me to go and fulfill the vow I have to pay to Yahweh in Hebron. (2 Samuel 15, 7)
