He would get up early and stand by the side of the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone came with a complaint to be placed before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out to him,“ What town are you from?” He would answer,“ Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”

He would get up early. He would stand by the side of the road that led to the city gate. Sometimes a person would come with a case for the king to decide. Then Absalom would call out to him,“ What town are you from?” He would answer,“ I’m from one of the tribes of Israel.”

And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the way of the gate. And when any man had a dispute to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say,“ From what city are you?” And when he said,“ Your servant is of such and such a tribe in Israel,”

He got up early every morning and went out to the gate of the city. When people brought a case to the king for judgment, Absalom would ask where in Israel they were from, and they would tell him their tribe.

He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for settlement, Absalom called out to him and asked,“ What city are you from?” If he replied,“ Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”

And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the road to the gate; and when any man who had a lawsuit was to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call out to him and say,“ From what city are you?” And he would say,“ Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”

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.”

And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that, when any man had a suit which should come 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.

He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for settlement, Absalom called out to him and asked,“ What city are you from?” If he replied,“ Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”

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.

Now Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road that led to the city gate. Whenever anyone came by who had a complaint to bring to the king for arbitration, Absalom would call out to him,“ What city are you from?” The person would answer,“ I, your servant, am from one of the tribes of Israel.”

Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him,“ Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down.

Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. They told to all the people, saying,“ Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” All the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.

They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard cases to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.The one woman said,“ Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. I delivered a child with her in the house.The third day after I delivered, this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house.This woman’s child died in the night, because she lay on it.She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I bore.”The other woman said,“ No; but the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” The first one said,“ No; but the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” They argued like this before the king.Then the king said,“ One says,‘ This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead;’ and the other says,‘ No; but your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’”The king said,“ Get me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king.The king said,“ Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.”Then the woman whose the living child was spoke to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said,“ Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill him!” But the other said,“ He shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide him.”Then the king answered,“ Give her the living child, and definitely do not kill him. She is his mother.”All Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.

The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

When Moses’ father- in- law saw all that he did to the people, he said,“ What is this thing that you do for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning to evening?”

When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.”

For they don’t sleep unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.
