2 SAMUEL 15:2

og om Morgenen stillede han sig ved Portvejen, og når nogen gik til Kongen for at få en Retssag afgjort, kaldte Absalom ham til sig og spurgte ham: “Hvilken By er du fra?” Når han da svarede: “Din Træl er fra den eller den af Israels Stammer!”

And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came 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.
