2 Samuel 15:2-4

21st Century King James Version

² And Absalom rose up early and stood beside the way of the gate; and it was so that, when any man who had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him and said, “Of what city art thou?” And he said, “Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”

³ And Absalom said unto him, “See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed by the king to hear thee.”

⁴ Absalom said moreover, “Oh, that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!”
