2 Samuel 15:2-6 and Abi Shalom starts early and stands at the hand by the way of the portal: and so be it, any man who has a controversy comes to the sovereign for judgment; and Abi Shalom calls to him and says, Of what city are you? And he says, Your servant is of one of the scions of Yisra El.

And he says, Your servant is of one of the scions of Yisra El. ³ And Abi Shalom says to him, See, your words are good and straight; but there is no man of the sovereign to hear you. ⁴ And Abi Shalom says, Who set me judge in the land, that every man who has any plea or judgment comes to me to justify him? ⁵ And so be it, when any man approaches to prostrate to him, he sends his hand and holds him and kisses him: ⁶ and Abi Shalom works this word to all Yisra El who come to the sovereign for judgment: and Abi Shalom steals the hearts of the men of Yisra El.
