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 there is no man appointed by the king to hear you. 4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would grant him justice! 5 And it was so, that when any man came near to him to do obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 6 And Absalom did this to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
