2 Samuel 15:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ Then Absalom said to him, “See, your matters are good and righteous; but there is no deputy of the king to hear you.”

⁴ Moreover, Absalom said, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, so that every man who has any dispute might come to me, so that I might do him justice!”

⁵ And when any man came near to him and prostrated himself, he put forth his hand and took him and kissed him.
