21st Century King James Version
21 And the king said unto Joab, “Behold now, I have done this thing. Go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.”
22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king; and Joab said, “Today thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.”
23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
24 And the king said, “Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face.
