May Yahweh, your God, be with you.’”Then the king answered the woman,“ Please don’t hide anything from me that I ask you.” The woman said,“ Let my lord the king now speak.”The king said,“ Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” The woman answered,“ As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab urged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your servant.Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.”The king said to Joab,“ Behold now, I have done this thing. Go therefore, and bring the young man Absalom back.”Joab fell to the ground on his face, showed respect, and blessed the king. 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.”So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.The king said,“ Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, and didn’t see the king’s face.
