2 Samuel 15:3-6

Context
15:3 Absalom would then say to him, “Look, your claims are legitimate and appropriate.¹ But there is no representative of the king who will listen to you.” 15:4 Absalom would then say, “If only they would make me² a judge in the land! Then everyone who had a judicial complaint³ could come to me and I would make sure he receives a just settlement.”
