2 Samuel 15:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your claims are right. But the king has no one to listen to you.” ⁴ Absalom would also say, “I wish someone would make me judge in this land! Then I could help everyone who comes with a problem. I could help him get a fair decision for his problem!”

⁵ People would come near Absalom to bow to him. When they did, Absalom would reach out his hand and take hold of them. Then he would kiss them.
