2 Samuel 15:3-5
New Life Version
3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Your side of the problem is good and right. But there is no man to listen to you for the king.” 4 And Absalom would say, “If only I were chosen to be the one to be judge in the land! Then every man who has a problem could come to me. And I would do for him what is right and fair.” 5 When a man came near to put his face to the ground in front of him, Absalom would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.

3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your claims are valid and proper, but there is no representative of the king to hear you.”(A) 4 And Absalom would add, “If only I were appointed judge in the land!(B) Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that they receive justice.”
5 Also, whenever anyone approached him to bow down before him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him and kiss him.
