2 Samuel 14:21-33
21And the kingH4428 saidH559 to JoabH3097, Behold now, I have done this thingH1697: so goH7725, bringH7725 backH7725 the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53. 22And JoabH3097 fellH5307 to the groundH776 on his faceH6440 and bowedH7812 himself, and blessedH1288 the kingH4428; and JoabH3097 saidH559, To-day thy servantH5650 knowsH3045 that I have foundH4672 favour in thy sight, my lordH113, O kingH4428, in that the kingH4428 has fulfilled the request of his servantH5650. 23And JoabH3097 aroseH6965 and wentH935 to GeshurH1650, and broughtH935 AbsalomH53 to JerusalemH3389. 24And the kingH4428 saidH559, Let him turnH5437 to his own houseH1004, and let him not seeH7200 my faceH6440. And AbsalomH53 withdrew to his own houseH1004, and sawH7200 not the king's faceH6440. 25But 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 shavedH1548 his headH7218 (for it wasH1961 at every year's endH7093 that he shavedH1548 it, because it wasH1961 heavyH3513 on him, therefore he shavedH1548 it), he weighedH8254 the hairH8181 of his headH7218 at twoH3967 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 after the king's weightH68. 27And to AbsalomH53 there wereH1961 bornH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121, and oneH259 daughterH1323, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559: she was a womanH802 of a beautifulH3303 countenance. 28So AbsalomH53 dweltH3427 two full yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, and did not seeH7200 the king's faceH6440. 29Then AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for JoabH3097, to sendH7971 him to the kingH4428; but he wouldH14 not comeH935 to him; and he sentH7971 againH5750 the secondH8145 timeH8145, but he wouldH14 not comeH935. 30Then he saidH559 to his servantsH5650, SeeH7200, Joab's allotment is near mine and he has barleyH8184 there: go and setH3341 it on fireH784. And Absalom's servantsH5650 setH3341 the allotment on fireH784. 31Then JoabH3097 aroseH6965, and cameH935 to AbsalomH53 to [his] houseH1004, and saidH559 to him, WhyH4100 have thy servantsH5650 setH6965 my allotment on fireH784? 32And AbsalomH53 saidH559 to JoabH3097, Behold, I sentH7971 to thee, sayingH559, ComeH935 hither, that I may sendH7971 thee to the kingH4428, to sayH559, WhyH4100 am I comeH935 from GeshurH1650? it would have been betterH2896 for me to be there stillH5750. And nowH6258 let me seeH7200 the king's faceH6440; and if there be iniquityH5771 in me, let him slay me. 33And JoabH3097 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and toldH5046 him. And he calledH7121 AbsalomH53, and he cameH935 to the kingH4428, and bowedH7812 himself on his faceH6440 to the groundH776 before the kingH4428; and the kingH4428 kissedH5401 AbsalomH53.
