2 Samuel 15:4-6

International Children’s Bible

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. ⁶ Absalom did that to all the Israelites who came to King David for decisions. In this way, Absalom won the hearts of all Israel.
