May the LORD your God be with you!’”Then the king replied to the woman,“ Don’t hide any information from me when I question you.” The woman said,“ Let my lord the king speak!”The king said,“ Did Joab put you up to all of this?” The woman answered,“ As surely as you live, my lord the king, there is no deviation to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king has said. For your servant Joab gave me instructions. He has put all these words in your servant’s mouth.Your servant Joab did this so as to change this situation. But my lord has wisdom like that of the angel of God, and knows everything that is happening in the land.”Then the king said to Joab,“ All right! I will do this thing! Go and bring back the young man Absalom!Then Joab bowed down with his face toward the ground and thanked the king. Joab said,“ Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord the king, because the king has granted the request of your servant!”So Joab got up and went to Geshur and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem.But the king said,“ Let him go over to his own house. He may not see my face.” So Absalom went over to his own house; he did not see the king’s face.
