Kings II 14:21 In-Context

19 And the king said, not the hand of Joab in all this matter with thee? and the woman said to the king, thy soul lives, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for thy servant Joab himself charged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid.

20 In order that this form of speech might come about that thy servant Joab has framed this matter: and my lord is wise as the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.

21 And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done to thee according to this thy word: go, bring back the young man Abessalom.

22 And Joab fell on his face to the ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant knows that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, for my lord the king has performed the request of his servant.

23 And Joab arose, and went to Gedsur, and brought Abessalom to Jerusalem.
