2 Samuel 14:31-33

Evangelical Heritage Version

³¹ Joab got up and went to Absalom’s house. He said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”

³² Absalom said to Joab, “I sent this message to you: Come here. I want to send you to speak to the king and to say for me, ‘Why did I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to still be there.’ Now I want to see the king face-to-face. If I am guilty of anything, let him put me to death.” ³³ So Joab went to the king and gave him the message.

Then the king summoned Absalom, and he came to the king. He bowed down to the king with his face to the ground, and the king kissed Absalom.
