2 Samuel 14:20-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁰ in order to change the appearance of things your servant Joab has done this thing. But my lord is wise, ^(A)like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know all that is in the earth.”

Absalom Is Recalled

²¹ Then the king said to Joab, “Behold now, ^(B)I will surely do this thing; go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom.” ²² Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself and blessed the king; then Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, O my lord, the king, in that the king has performed the ^[a]request of his servant.”
