2 Samuel 14:21-33
21And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I have doneH6213 this thingH1697: goH7725 therefore, bringH7725 the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53 againH7725. 22And JoabH3097 fellH5307 to the groundH776 on his faceH6440, and didH6213 obeisance, and blessedH1288 the kingH4428: end JoabH3097 saidH559, TodayH3117 thy servantH5650 knoweth that I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, my lordH113, O kingH4428, in that the kingH4428 hath performed the requestH1697 of his servantH5650. 23SoH6965 JoabH3097 aroseH6965 and wentH935 to GeshurH1650, and broughtH935 AbsalomH53 to JerusalemH3389. 24And the kingH4428 saidH559, LetH3808 him turnH5437 to his ownH6440 houseH1004, but letH3808 him notH3808 seeH7200 my faceH6440. SoH3808 AbsalomH53 turnedH5437 to his ownH6440 houseH1004, and sawH7200 notH3808 the king’sH4428 faceH6440. 25NowH1961 in allH3605 IsraelH3478 there was noneH3808 to be soH1961 muchH3605 praisedH1984 as AbsalomH53 for his beauty: from the soleH3709 of his footH7272 evenH5704 to the crownH6936 of his headH6936 there was noH3808 blemishH3971 in him. 26And when he polled his headH7218, (nowH1961 it was at everyH3117 year’s endH7093 that he polled it: becauseH3588 the hairH8181 was heavyH3513 on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighedH8254 the hairH8181 of his headH7218 at twoH3967 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255, afterH5921 the king’sH4428 weightH68. 27And unto AbsalomH53 there were bornH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121, and one daughterH1323, whoseH1121 nameH8034 was TamarH8559: sheH1931 was a womanH802 of a fairH3303 countenance. 28And AbsalomH53 dweltH3427 twoH3808 fullH3117 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and he sawH7200 notH3808 the king’sH4428 faceH6440. 29Then AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for JoabH3097, to sendH7971 him to the kingH4428; but he would notH3808 comeH935 to him: and he sentH7971 againH5750 a secondH8145 time, but he would notH3808 comeH935. 30Therefore he saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, SeeH7200, Joab’sH3097 fieldH2513 is nearH8033 mine, and he hath barleyH8184 there; go and setH3341 it on fireH784. And Absalom’sH53 servantsH5650 setH3341 the fieldH2513 on fireH784. 31Then JoabH3097 aroseH6965, and cameH935 to AbsalomH53 unto his houseH1004, and saidH559 unto him, Wherefore have thy servantsH5650 setH6965 my fieldH2513 on fireH784? 32And AbsalomH53 answeredH559 JoabH3097, BeholdH2009, 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 meH413 to be there stillH5750: nowH6258 therefore letH7971 meH413 seeH7200 the king’sH4428 faceH6440; and ifH518 there be iniquityH5771 in meH413, letH7971 him killH4191 meH413. 33SoH7121 JoabH3097 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and toldH5046 him: and when he had calledH7121 for AbsalomH53, he cameH935 to the kingH4428, and bowedH7812 himselfH7812 on his faceH6440 to the groundH776 beforeH6440 the kingH4428: and the kingH4428 kissedH5401 AbsalomH53.
