That's how he treated everyone from Israel who brought a complaint to the king. Soon everyone in Israel liked Absalom better than they liked David.
They want to serve themselves and not Christ the Lord. Their flattery and fancy talk fool people who don't know any better.
They will be greedy and cheat you with smooth talk. But long ago God decided to punish them, and God doesn't sleep.
Dishonest people use gossip to destroy their neighbors; good people are protected by their own good sense.
A messenger came and told David, “Everyone in Israel is on Absalom's side!”
The successor of this king of the north will be a worthless nobody, who doesn't even come from a royal family. He will suddenly appear and gain control of the kingdom by treachery.
I once saw everyone in the world follow a young leader who came to power after the king was gone.
