2 Samuel 14:21-24

21Then the king said to Joab, "Behold now, I grant this; go, bring back the young man Absalom."

22And Joab fell on his face to the ground and paid homage and blessed the king. And Joab said, "Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord the king, in that the king has granted the request of his servant."

23So Joab arose and went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

24And the king said, "Let him dwell apart in his own house; he is not to come into my presence." So Absalom lived apart in his own house and did not come into the king's presence.
