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.

Meanwhile Boaz went up to the town gate and sat down there just as the guardian- redeemer he had mentioned came along. Boaz said,“ Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.

So the king got up and took his seat in the gateway. When the men were told,“ The king is sitting in the gateway,” they all came before him. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled to their homes.

They served as judges for the people at all times. The difficult cases they brought to Moses, but the simple ones they decided themselves.

Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.One of them said,“ Pardon me, my lord. This woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was there with me.The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us.“ During the night this woman’s son died because she lay on him.So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast.The next morning, I got up to nurse my son— and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn’t the son I had borne.”The other woman said,“ No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.” But the first one insisted,“ No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.” And so they argued before the king.The king said,“ This one says,‘ My son is alive and your son is dead,’ while that one says,‘ No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.’”Then the king said,“ Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king.He then gave an order:“ Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king,“ Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don’t kill him!” But the other said,“ Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!”Then the king gave his ruling:“ Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.”When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.

When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up, kills the poor and needy, and in the night steals forth like a thief.

Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed.

When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said,“ What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?”

Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God’s decrees and instructions.”

For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
