21 And the king said unto Joab: 'Behold now, I have granted this request; go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.' 22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and prostrated himself, and blessed the king; and Joab said: 'To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found favour in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed the request of thy servant.' 23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 24 And the king said: 'Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face.' So Absalom turned to his own house, and saw not the king's face. 2 Samuel 14:21-24, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
