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.

so sprach Absalom zu ihm: Siehe, deine Sache ist recht und schlecht; aber du hast keinen, der dich hört, beim König.
Entonces Absalom le decía: Mira, tus palabras son buenas y justas: mas no tienes quien te oiga por el rey.
Absalom lui disait: Vois, ta cause est bonne et juste; mais personne de chez le roi ne t'écoutera.
Ed Absalom gli diceva: Vedi, le tue ragioni son buone e diritte; ma tu non hai alcuno che ti ascolti da parte del re.
Então Absalão lhe dizia: Olha, os teus negócios são bons e retos, porém não tens quem te ouça da parte do rei.
押沙龍 就對他說:「看,你的案件合情合理,無奈王沒有委派人聽你申訴。」
