2 Samuel 14:31-33
31Then Joab got up, came to Absalom at his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my plot on fire?”
32Absalom 1answered Joab, “Behold, I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there.”’ Now then, let me see the king’s face, 2and if there is guilt in me, he can have me executed.”
33So when Joab came to the king and told him, he summoned Absalom. Then Absalom came to the king and prostrated himself 3with his face to the ground before the king; and 4the king kissed Absalom.
