2 Samuel 14:23 In-Context

21 The king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.

22 Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.

23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

24 The king said, Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and didn't see the king's face.

25 Now in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
