2 Samuel 14:32-33

International Standard Version

³² In answer to Joab, Absalom replied, “Look, I sent for you, telling you ‘Come here so I can send you to the king to ask him “What’s the point in moving here from Geshur? I would have been better off to have remained there!”’ So let me see the king’s face, and if I’m guilty of anything, let him execute me!”

³³ So when Joab approached the king and told him what Absalom had said,^[a] he summoned Absalom, who then came to the king and fell to the ground on his face in front of him.^[b] Then the king kissed Absalom.
