LOVE Exodus 21:5-6

"But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,' then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life."

I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free
Deuteronomy 15:16-17 But if your servant says to you, "I do not want to leave you," because he loves you and your family and is well off with you, then take an awl and push it through his ear lobe into the door, and he will be come your servant for life. Do the same for your maidservant.

then his master must take him before the judges
Exodus 22:8-9 "But if the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges to determine whether he has laid his hands on the other man's property. In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment or any other lost property about which somebody says, 'This is mine,' both parties are to bring their cases before the judges. The one whom the judges declare guilty must pay back double to his neighbor."
Deuteronomy 17:7 Go to the priests, who are Levites, and to the judge who is in office at that time. Inquire of them and they will give you the verdict.
Deuteronomy 19:16-17 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime, the two men involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time.
Deuteronomy 25:1 When men have a dispute, they are to take it to court and the judges will decide the case, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty.

He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl
Psalm 40:6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.

Then he will be his servant for life
Job 39:9 "Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger at night?"
Job 41:4 "Will he make an agreement with you for you to take him as your slave for life?"
