2 Samuel 15:4-6 ▼

4 Moreover Absalom would say, “Oh, that I were appointed judge in the land! Then every man who had a dispute could come to me and I would get justice for him.”

5 And whenever a man approached to bow down before him, he would put out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him.

6 This is how Absalom dealt with everyone in Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
