2 Samuel 15:2-6

2And AbsalomH53 rose earlyH7925, and stoodH5975 besideH3027 the wayH1870 of the gateH8179: and it was so, that when any manH376 that had a controversyH7379 cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941, then AbsalomH53 calledH7121 to him, and saidH559, Of whatH335 cityH5892 art thou? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 is oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.1 3And AbsalomH53 saidH559 to him, SeeH7200, thy mattersH1697 are goodH2896 and rightH5228; but there is no man deputed by the kingH4428 to hearH8085 thee.2 4AbsalomH53 saidH559 moreover, O that I were madeH7760 judgeH8199 in the landH776, that every manH376 who hath any suitH7379 or causeH4941 might comeH935 to me, and I would do him justiceH6663! 5And it was so, that when any manH376 came nearH7126 to him to do him obeisanceH7812, he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH2388 him, and kissedH5401 him. 6And in this mannerH1697 didH6213 AbsalomH53 to all IsraelH3478 that cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941: so AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH582 of IsraelH3478.
