2 Samuel 14:23 In-Context

21 The king said to Yo'av, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Avshalom back.

22 Yo'av fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Yo'av 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 Yo'av arose and went to Geshur, and brought Avshalom to Yerushalayim.

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

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