Absalom said to Joab,“ Look, I sent word to you and said,‘ Come here so I can send you to the king to ask,“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there!”’ Now then, I want to see the king’s face, and if I am guilty of anything, let him put me to death.”

Absalom said to Joab,“ I sent a message to you. I said,‘ Come here. I want to send you to the king. I want you to ask him for me,“ Why did you bring me back from Geshur? I would be better off if I were still there!” ’ Now then, I want to go and see the king. If I’m guilty of doing anything wrong, let him put me to death.”

Absalom answered Joab,“ Behold, I sent word to you,‘ Come here, that I may send you to the king, to ask,“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still.” Now therefore let me go into the presence of the king, and if there is guilt in me, let him put me to death.’”

And Absalom replied,“ Because I wanted you to ask the king why he brought me back from Geshur if he didn’t intend to see me. I might as well have stayed there. Let me see the king; if he finds me guilty of anything, then let him kill me.”

“ Look,” Absalom explained to Joab,“ I sent for you and said,‘ Come here. I want to send you to the king to ask: Why have I come back from Geshur? I’d be better off if I were still there.’ So now, let me see the king. If I am guilty, let him kill me.”

And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.

“ Look,” Absalom explained to Joab,“ I sent for you and said,‘ Come here. I want to send you to the king to ask: Why have I come back from Geshur? I’d be better off if I were still there.’ So now, let me see the king. If I am guilty, let him kill me.”

And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur?[ it had been] good for me[ to have been] there still: now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be[ any] iniquity in me, let him kill me.

Absalom said to Joab,“ Look, I sent a message to you saying,‘ Come here so that I can send you to the king with this message:“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there.”’ Let me now see the face of the king. If I am at fault, let him put me to death!”

Absalom answered Joab,“ Behold, I sent to you, saying,‘ Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say,“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”’”
