And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing. Go therefore and bring the young man Absalom again.

And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here so that I may send you to the king, to say, Why have I come from Geshur? It was good for me to be there still. And now let me see the king's face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.
