2 Samuel 15:3-5

New Century Version

³ Then Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are right, but the king has no one to listen to you.” ⁴ Absalom would also say, “I wish someone would make me judge in this land! Then people with problems could come to me, and I could help them get justice.”

⁵ People would come near Absalom to bow to him. When they did, Absalom would reach out his hand and take hold of them and kiss them.
