Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?(2 Samuel 14:31)

And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.(2 Samuel 14:32)

So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.(2 Samuel 14:33)

And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.(2 Samuel 15:2)

And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.(2 Samuel 15:3)

Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!(2 Samuel 15:4)
