Absalom's Treason (2 Samuel 15)

      Now Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate.  So it was whenever anyone who had a lawsuit came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, "What city are you from?"  And he would say, "Your servant is from such and such a tribe of Israel."   Then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your case is good and right, but there is no deputy of the king to hear you."
