The king said to Joab, “Very well, I will do this. Go and bring back the young man Absalom.”
In context
19The king said, “Is the hand of Joab behind you in all this?” The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or the left from anything my lord the king has said. It was your servant Joab who instructed me; he put all these words in your servant’s mouth. 20Your servant Joab did this to change the way things look, but my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of an angel of God, to know everything that happens in the land.” 21The king said to Joab, “Very well, I will do this. Go and bring back the young man Absalom.” 22Joab fell facedown on the ground and bowed low, and blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that he has found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, because the king has granted his servant’s request.” 23So Joab set out, went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
