2 Samuel 15:4

Then Absalom would say , Oh that I were judge in the land ! Then every man with a dispute or cause might come to me, and I would give him justice .

And Absalom would add, “If only I were appointed judge in the land! Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that they receive justice.”

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!
