2 Samuel - ch 14 v 21 - 33

  1. The king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.
  2. Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.
  3. So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
  4. The king said, Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and didn't see the king's face.
  5. Now in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
  6. When he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year's end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it); he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king's weight.
  7. To Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a beautiful face.
  8. Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem; and he didn't see the king's face.
  9. Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.
  10. Therefore he said to his servants, Behold, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire. Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
  11. Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, Why have your servants set my field on fire?
  12. Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, Why am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.
  13. So Joab came to the king, and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
