Verse 1 is found in chapter 15 of 2 Samuel. Absalom begins building a public image of closeness to the people. He presents himself as an accessible prince, listens to the complaints of those who come to Jerusalem, and suggests that he would administer justice more effectively. His strategy is to win popular affection through carefully calculated gestures. The scene shows how political ambition can grow not only through military force but through manipulation of expectations and perceptions.
