Absalom Returns
21 Then the king said to Joab, “Behold now, (A)I [a]will certainly do this thing; go then, bring back the young man Absalom.” 22 And Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself, and blessed the king; then Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord the king, in that the king has performed the [b]request of his servant.” 23 So Joab arose and went to (B)Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
