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. 24 However, the king said, “He shall return to (C)his own house, but he shall not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house and did not see the king’s face.

David Authorizes Absalom’s Return
21 Then the king addressed Joab, “Look! I’ll do this thing that you’ve requested.[a] Go bring back the young man Absalom.”
22 At this, Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrating himself to bless the king, and then[b] said, “Today your servant realizes that he’s found favor with you, your majesty, in that the king has acted on the request of his servant.” 23 Then Joab got up, went to Geshur, and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem.
24 Nevertheless, the king said, “Let him return to his own home and not show his face to me.” So Absalom returned to his own home and did not show his face to the king.
