2 Samuel 14:22-24

Modern English Version

²² Then Joab fell with his face to ground and bowed low and blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, since the king has granted the request of his servant.”

²³ Then Joab arose and went to Geshur, and he brought Absalom to Jerusalem. ²⁴ The king said, “Let him turn to his own house. He shall not come into my presence.” So Absalom turned to his house and did not come into the king’s presence.
