2 Samuel 14:31-33 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

31. And Joab rose up, and he went to Absalom at his house, and he said, "Why have your servants set fire to my grain field?"

32. And Absalom responded to Joab: "I sent to you, begging that you might come to me, and that I might send you to the king, and that you might say to him: 'Why was I brought from Geshur? It would have been better for me to be there.' I beg you, therefore, that I may see the face of the king. And if he is mindful of my iniquity, let him put me to death."

33. And so, Joab, entering to the king, reported everything to him. And Absalom was summoned. And he entered to the king, and he reverenced on the face of the earth. And the king kissed Absalom.
