2 Samuel 15:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ And Absalom would say unto them, See, thy matters are good and just; but there is no one delegated by the king to hear thee.

⁴ And Absalom would say, Oh, that I were made judge in the land, that everyone who has any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!

⁵ And it was so, that when anyone came near unto him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand and took him and kissed him.
