“And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.”
King James Version (KJV)
15:3 See - Upon some very slight hearing of their cause, he approved it, that he might oblige all. No man - None such as will do thee justice. The other sons and relations of the king, and the rest of the judges and rulers under him and them, are wholly corrupted; or, at least not careful and diligent as they should be: and my father being grown in years, is negligent of publick affairs. It is the way of turbulent, aspiring men, to reproach the government they are under. Even David himself, the best of kings, could not escape the worst of censures.
And Absalom said vnto him, See, thy matters are good & right, but there is no man deputed of the king to heare thee.
