2 Samuel 14:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² Joab bowed facedown on the ground. He blessed the king. Then he said, “Today I know you are pleased with me. I know because you have done what I asked.”

²³ Then Joab got up and went to Geshur. And he brought Absalom back to Jerusalem. ²⁴ But King David said, “Absalom must go to his own house. He may not come to see me.” So Absalom went to his own house. He did not go to see the king.
