2 Samuel 15:1-12
Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel by his kindness treatment and appointed judge in the land to anyone who came to Jerusalem with a complaint to be placed before the king.
Two hundred men from Jerusalem had accompanied Absalom to Hebron. They had been invited as guests and went quite innocently, knowing nothing the matter.
And the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom's following kept in increasing.
With Amon out of the way, and Abigails son dead, Absalom is next in line to the throne.
But Solomon is David's chosen heir. For four years Absalom lays his plans, gradually winning the people over. When he does come into the open the challenge to David is extremely serious.
Why?
The gate where the city's business and legal transactions took place.
Hebron is David's former capital in Judah.
David was not bad to his people but Absalom grasp the heart of men without let others know what he wanted, so it says he stole the hearts of men.
Love and Justice attract men's heart, but no one know what a man think about behind his motivation, except God.
How?
Jesus Christ, the Lord has everlasting love and justice.
