2 Samuel 15:5-8

Living Bible

⁵ And when anyone came to bow to him, Absalom wouldn’t let him, but shook his hand instead!^{[a] 6} So in this way Absalom stole the hearts of all the people of Israel.

^7-8 After four years, Absalom said to the king, “Let me go to Hebron to sacrifice to the Lord in fulfillment of a vow I made to him while I was at Geshur—that if he would bring me back to Jerusalem, I would sacrifice to him.”
