    31Then Joab arose, went to Absalom’s house, and said to him, 'Why have your servants set my field on fire?'

    32Absalom said to Joab, 'Look, I sent word to you, saying, “Come here so I can send you to the king to ask, 'Why did I come back from Geshur? It would have been better for me to remain there.'” Now, let me see the king’s face. If I am guilty of anything, let him put me to death.'

    33So Joab went to the king and told him this. Then the king summoned Absalom, who came to the king and bowed himself down with his face to the ground before him. And the king kissed Absalom.
