2 Samuel 14:21-23

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²¹ Then the king said to Joab, ‘Very well, I grant this; go, bring back the young man Absalom.’ ²² Joab prostrated himself with his face to the ground and did obeisance, and blessed the king; and Joab said, ‘Today your servant knows that I have found favour in your sight, my lord the king, in that the king has granted the request of his servant.’ ²³ So Joab set off, went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
