21 Then the king addressed Joab, |Look! I'll do this thing that you've requested. Go bring back the young man Absalom.| 22 At this, Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrating himself to bless the king, and then said, |Today your servant realizes that he's found favor with you, your majesty, in that the king has acted on the request of his servant.| 23 Then Joab got up, went to Geshur, and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem. 24 Nevertheless, the king said, |Let him return to his own home and not show his face to me.| So Absalom returned to his own home and did not show his face to the king. 2 Samuel 14:21-24, Intl.
