2 Samuel 14:21-33

21And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, Behold now, I have done this thingH1697: goH7725 therefore, bringH7725 the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53 backH7725. 22And JoabH3097 fellH5307 to the groundH776 on his faceH6440, and did obeisance, and blessedH1288 the kingH4428; and JoabH3097 saidH559, To-day thy servantH5650 knoweth that I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight, my lordH113, O kingH4428, in that the kingH4428 hath performed the request of his servantH5650. 23So JoabH3097 aroseH6965 and wentH935 to GeshurH1650, and broughtH935 AbsalomH53 to JerusalemH3389. 24And the kingH4428 saidH559, Let him turnH5437 to his own houseH1004, but let him not seeH7200 my faceH6440. So AbsalomH53 turnedH5437 to his own houseH1004, and sawH7200 not the king’sH4428 faceH6440.

25Now in all IsraelH3478 there wasH1961 none to beH1961 so much praisedH1984 as AbsalomH53 for his beauty: from the soleH3709 of his footH7272 even to the crown of his head there wasH1961 no blemishH3971 in him. 26And when he cut the hairH8181 of his headH7218 (now it wasH1961 at every year’s endH7093 that he cut it; because it wasH1961 heavyH3513 on him, therefore he cut it); he weighedH8254 the hairH8181 of his headH7218 at twoH3967 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255, after the king’sH4428 weightH68. 27And unto AbsalomH53 there wereH1961 bornH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121, and oneH259 daughterH1323, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559: she was a womanH802 of a fair countenance.

28And AbsalomH53 dweltH3427 two full yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and he sawH7200 not the king’sH4428 faceH6440. 29Then AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for JoabH3097, to sendH7971 him to the kingH4428; but he wouldH14 not comeH935 to him: and he sentH7971 againH5750 a secondH8145 timeH8145, but he wouldH14 not comeH935. 30Therefore he saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, SeeH7200, Joab’s field is near mine, and he hath barleyH8184 there; go and setH3341 it on fireH784. And Absalom’s servantsH5650 setH3341 the field on fireH784. 31Then JoabH3097 aroseH6965, and cameH935 to AbsalomH53 unto his houseH1004, and saidH559 unto him, Wherefore have thy servantsH5650 setH6965 my field on fireH784? 32And AbsalomH53 answered JoabH3097, Behold, I sentH7971 unto thee, sayingH559, ComeH935 hither, that I may sendH7971 thee to the kingH4428, to sayH559, Wherefore am I comeH935 from GeshurH1650? it were betterH2896 for me to be there stillH5750. NowH6258 thereforeH6258 let me seeH7200 the king’sH4428 faceH6440; and if there be iniquityH5771 in me, let him killH4191 me. 33So JoabH3097 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and toldH5046 him; and when he had calledH7121 for AbsalomH53, he cameH935 to the kingH4428, and bowedH7812 himself on his faceH6440 to the groundH776 before the kingH4428: and the kingH4428 kissedH5401 AbsalomH53.
