Expanded Bible

²² Joab bowed facedown on the ground [^Land prostrated himself] and blessed the king. Then he said, “Today I know ·you are pleased with me [^LI have found favor in your sight/eyes], because you have done what I asked.”

²³ Then Joab got up and went to Geshur and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem. ²⁴ But King David said, “Absalom must go to his own house. He may not ·come to see me [^Lsee my face].” So Absalom went to his own house and did not ·go to see the king [^Lsee the king’s face].
