Absalom said, moreover<\/strong>,…. To the same persons, at the same time:<\/p>\n oh that I were made judge in the land<\/strong>; by which it appears that he had no office under the king; partly either because of his crime, and so not thought fit, and partly because he appeared to be an ambitious aspiring man, and so it was thought not safe to put him into any office:<\/p>\n that every man that hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice<\/strong>; at once, without any further trouble, or coming often, and in vain, and to no purpose.<\/p>\n 2Sa 15:4 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!<\/p>\n Ver. 4. Oh that I were made judge in the land.<\/strong> ] It were pity else, you are so worthy a wight; let Pellican say for you. Absalom was an absolute villain, saith he, ungrateful, ambitious, arrogant, a hypocrite, a liar, a persecutor of his father, a subverter of the people, an example and monument of rebellious sons, and of all that persecute God’s servants. And was not this a fit man to make a supreme judge!

This he took ill, and endeavoured to bring the people to do so too, by persuading them that, if he were in authority, he would take speedy care to do them justice. When any man came nigh to do him obeisance To fall prostrate before him as the kings son.

In this manner did Absalom to all Israel Robbed his father of the affections of the people, and possessed himself of them; some admiring his beauty and gallantry; others his courtesy and civility; and others being taken with his magnificent promises of the noble things he would do if he were their king.<\/p>\n 15:4 Absalom said moreover, {c} 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!<\/p>\n (c) Thus by slander, flattery and fair promises, the wicked seek preference.<\/p>\n 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!
