2 Samuel 14:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ Then he got up and went to Geshur and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem. ²⁴ The king, however, gave orders that Absalom should not live in the palace. “I don't want to see him,” the king said. So Absalom lived in his own house and did not appear before the king.

Absalom Is Reconciled to David

²⁵ There was no one in Israel as famous for his good looks as Absalom; he had no defect from head to toe.
