2 Samuel 14:22-24

Tree of Life Version

²² Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself and blessed the king. Then Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, since the king has done the word of your servant.” ²³ So Joab got up, went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

²⁴ However, the king said, “He may go directly to his own house, but he may not see my face.” So Absalom went directly to his own house and did not see the king’s face.
