2 Samuel 15:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ Absalom would continue, “If I were appointed a judge in the land, then every man who had a claim could come and I would give him justice.”

⁵ When a man would approach to bow before him, he would reach out, embrace him, and kiss him. ⁶ Absalom acted this way toward every Israelite who came to the king for a judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
