Absalom stands beside the way of the gate and steals the hearts of the men of Israel
압살롬이 성문 길 곁에 서서 이스라엘 사람의 마음을 도적함
2 Samuel 15:1–6: after this, Absalom prepares a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him. Absalom rises up early, and stands beside the way of the gate. When any man has a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom calls to him, and says, “What city are you from?” He says, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.” Absalom says to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.” Absalom says moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!” When any man comes near to bow down to him, he stretches out his hand, takes hold of him, and kisses him. Absalom does this sort of thing to all Israel who come to the king for judgment. So Absalom steals the hearts of the men of Israel. The Korean Revised Version names Absalom at 15:5 (압살롬이 손을 펴서), and at 15:4 goes on from 15:3 with 또 이르기를, naming no one.
