2 Samuel 15:4-6

4Absalom would also say, ‘I think that I should have authority to be a judge in Israel. Then when people have a problem to take to court, they could come to me. I would make sure that they receive justice.’

5When anyone bent his body down low to give honour to Absalom, Absalom would reach out and pull the man towards him. He would kiss the man.

6Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to Jerusalem to ask the king for justice. In that way, Absalom turned the people of Israel so that they became faithful to him.
