2 Samuel 15:2-6

MKJV(i) 2 And Absalom rose up early and stood beside the way of the gate. And it was so, if any man had a suit to come before the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him and said, What city are you from? And he said, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel. 3 And Absalom said to him, See! Your matters are good and right. But no listener from the king will hear you. 4 And Absalom said, Oh that I might be made judge in the land, so that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice! 5 And it was so, when any man came near to bow down to him, he put forth his hand and took him and kissed him. 6 And in this way Absalom did to all Israel that came to the king for judgment. And Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
