2 Samuel 15:5-7

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ And it was so, that when anyone came near unto him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand and took him and kissed him.

⁶ And Absalom did according to this manner with all Israel that came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of those of Israel.

⁷ ¶ And at the end of a predetermined period of forty years, it came to pass that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go to Hebron and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD.
