2 Samuel 14:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ So the king said to Joab, “All right then. I will do it. Go and bring back my boy Absalom.”

²² Joab fell facedown, bowing low out of respect, and he blessed the king.

“Today your servant knows that you think well of me, my master and king,” Joab said, “because the king has followed up on his servant’s recommendation.”

²³ So Joab got up, went to Geshur, and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem.
