2 Samuel 15:4-6 ▼

4 Moreover, Absalom would say, “Oh that someone would appoint me judge in the land, then every man who has a lawsuit or claim could come to me, and I would give him justice!”

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

6 Absalom dealt this way with all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of the people of Israel.
