21 Then the king said to Joab, “All right! I[a] will do this thing. Go and bring back the young man Absalom!” 22 Then Joab bowed down with his face toward the ground and thanked[b] the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord the king, because the king has granted the request of your[c] servant!”
23 So Joab got up and went to Geshur and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem.
