The verses around it, from 2 Samuel 15.
1 Some time later, Absalom provided for himself a chariot with horses and fifty men to run ahead of him.
2 He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”
3 Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”
4 And he would add, “If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.”
5 Also, when anyone approached to bow down to him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him.
