ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૫:૪
વળી આબ્શાલોમ ઇચ્છતો હતો કે આ દેશમાં મને ન્યાયાધીશ બનાવવામાં આવે, તો કેવું સારું પછી જે કોઈને તકરાર કે ફરિયાદ હોય તે પ્રત્યેક માણસ મારી પાસે આવે અને હું તેનો ન્યાય કરું!”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १५:४
फिर अबशालोम यह भी कहा करता था, “भला होता कि मैं इस देश में न्यायी ठहराया जाता! तब जितने मुकद्दमा वाले होते वे सब मेरे ही पास आते, और मैं उनका न्याय चुकाता।”

In context

2Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”

3Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”

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

5It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.

6Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
