Shmuel Bais 15:2-4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

² And Avshalom rose up early, and stood beside the derech hasha’ar; and it was so, that when any ish that had a riv (lawsuit, complaint) came to HaMelech for mishpat, then Avshalom called unto him, and said, Of what town art thou? And he said, Thy eved is of one of the Shivtei Yisroel.

³ And Avshalom said unto him, See, thy case is tovim and right; but there is no man deputy of HaMelech to hear thee.

⁴ Avshalom said moreover, Oh that I were made Shofet in the land, that every ish which hath any riv or mishpat might come unto me, and I would bring him justice!
