2 Samuel 14:20-22

Lexham English Bible

²⁰ In order to change the situation,^[a] your servant Joab did this thing. But my lord has wisdom, as the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is on the earth.” ²¹ Then the king said to Joab, “Look, please, I will grant this thing. Go and bring back the young man Absalom.” ²² Joab fell with his face to the ground and did obeisance. And he blessed the king, and he^[b] said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, in that the king has granted the request of his servant.”
