2 Samuel 14:25-33

25Now there wasH1961 notH3808 a manH376 in allH3605 IsraelH3478 as handsomeH3303 and highlyH3966 praisedH1984 as AbsalomH53. From the soleH3709 of his footH7272 toH5704 the top of his headH6936, he did notH3808 haveH1961 a single flawH3971. 26And when he cut the hairH1548 ofH853 his headH7218H1961—he shavedH1548 it every yearH7093H3117 becauseH3588 his hair got so heavyH3515H5921H1548—he would weighH8254 it out to be two hundredH3967 shekelsH8255,1 according to the royalH4428 standardH68.

27ThreeH7969 sonsH1121 were bornH3205 to AbsalomH53, and aH259 daughterH1323 namedH8034 TamarH8559, whoH1931 wasH1961 a beautifulH3303H4758 womanH802.

28Now AbsalomH53 livedH3427 in JerusalemH3389 twoH8141 yearsH3117 withoutH3808 seeingH7200 the faceH6440 of the kingH4428. 29ThenH53 he sentH7971 forH413 JoabH3097 to sendH7971 himH853 toH413 the kingH4428, but Joab refusedH3808H14 to comeH935 to himH413.

So Absalom sentH7971 a secondH5750H8145 time, but Joab still would notH3808H14 comeH935.

30Then Absalom saidH559 toH413 his servantsH5650, “LookH7200, Joab’sH3097 field isH2513 next toH413 mineH3027, and he has barleyH8184 thereH8033. GoH1980 and set itH3341 on fireH784!”

And Absalom’sH53 servantsH5650 set the fieldH2513 on fireH3341H784.2

Then JoabH3097 cameH935 toH413 Absalom’sH53 houseH1004 and demandedH559H413, “WhyH4100 did your servantsH5650 setH3341 my fieldH2513 on fireH784?”

32“LookH2009,” saidH559 AbsalomH53, “I sentH7971 forH413 you and saidH559, ‘ComeH935 hereH2008. I want to sendH7971 you toH413 the kingH4428 to askH559: WhyH4100 have I come backH935 from GeshurH1650? It would be betterH2896 for me if IH589 were stillH5750 thereH8033.’ So nowH6258, let me seeH7200 the king’sH4428 faceH6440, and ifH518 there isH3426 iniquityH5771 in me, let him kill meH4191.”

33So JoabH3097 wentH935 and toldH5046 the king, and David summonedH7121 AbsalomH53, who cameH935H413 toH413 him and bowedH7812 facedownH5921H639H776 before himH6440H4428. Then the kingH4428 kissedH5401 AbsalomH53.
