2 Samuel 14:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² And Joab falling down to the ground upon his face, adored, and blessed the king: and Joab said: This day thy servant hath understood, that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king: for thou hast fulfilled the request of thy servant.

²³ Then Joab arose and went to Gessur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

²⁴ But the king said: Let him return into his house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned into his house, and saw not the king's face.
