3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your1 case is good and right; but there is no2 deputy of the king to hear you.”
4 Moreover Absalom would say, a“Oh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justice.”
5 And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and akiss him.
6 In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. aSo Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 Now it came to pass aafter forty years that Absalom said to the king, “Please, let me go to bHebron and pay the vow which I made to the Lord.
