2Samuel:15:3-8

*
And Absalom said unto him ,
See ,
thy matters are good and right ;
but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee .
*
Absalom said moreover ,
Oh that I were made judge in the land ,
that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me ,
and I would do him justice !
*
And it was so ,
that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance ,
he put forth his hand ,
and took him ,
and kissed him .
*
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment :
so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And it came to pass after forty #
arba #

years ,
that Absalom said unto the king ,
I pray thee ,
let me go and pay my vow ,
which I have vowed unto the LORD ,
in Hebron .
*
For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria ,
saying ,
If the LORD shall bring me again (
8676 )
indeed to Jerusalem ,
then I will serve the LORD .
