2 Samuel 14:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁰ Your servant Joab has done this to portray the matter in a different light. You are as wise as God’s Messenger, who knows everything on earth.”

²¹ Then the king told Joab, “This is what you’ll do. Bring back the young man Absalom.”

²² Joab quickly bowed down with his face touching the ground, and he blessed the king. He said, “Today I know that you have been kind to me because you have done what I wanted.”
