2 Samuel 15:2-6
New King James Version
2 Now Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate. So it was, whenever anyone who had a (A)lawsuit[a] came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, “What city are you from?” And he would say, “Your servant is from such and such a tribe of Israel.” 3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your [b]case is good and right; but there is no [c]deputy of the king to hear you.” 4 Moreover Absalom would say, (B)“Oh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justice.” 5 And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and (C)kiss him. 6 In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. (D)So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
