2 Samuel 14:31-33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
31 Joab went to Absalom in his house and asked him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?” 32 Absalom answered Joab: “I sent you a message: Come here, that I may send you to the king to say: ‘Why did I come back from Geshur? I would be better off if I were still there!’ Now, let me appear before the king. If I am guilty, let him put me to death.” 33 Joab went to the king and reported this. The king then called Absalom; he came to him and in homage fell on his face to the ground before the king. Then the king kissed Absalom.
