Auf diese Weise tat Absalom dem ganzen Israel, wenn sie kamen vor Gericht zum König, und stahl also das Herz der Männer Israels.
Y de esta manera hacía con todo Israel que venía al rey a juicio: y así robaba Absalom el corazón de los de Israel.
Absalom agissait ainsi à l'égard de tous ceux d'Israël, qui se rendaient vers le roi pour demander justice. Et Absalom gagnait le coeur des gens d'Israël.
E così faceva Absalom a tutti quelli d’Israele che venivano al re per giudicio; e furava il cuore di que’ d’Israele
E desta maneira fazia Absalão a todo o Israel que vinha ao rei para juízo; assim furtava Absalão o coração dos homens de Israel.
