2 Samuel15:3
3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right : but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee .
Upon some very flight hearing of their case, he approved it, that he might oblige all.
To wit, 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, and swayed by favour or bribes; or, at least not careful and diligent as they should be: and my Father being grown in years, is negligent of publick affairs, leaving them wholly to their conduct.
Marginal references: Or, none will hear thee from the King downward.
