Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet-} before Avshalom {אַבְשָׁל֖וֹם | ʾav-šā-lōm} highlights him as the focus of the transfer, while the absence of a preposition before Yerushalayim {יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | yĕ-rū-šā-lā-yim} signals a destination complement. The directional heh on Geshurah frames the geographic movement, and the triadic verb structure emphasizes Joab’s determined mission to restore Absalom to the royal city.
Root and etymology
possibly from y-r-šyod–resh–shin
“foundation of peace”
In context — 2 Samuel 14:23
Then Joab arose and went to Geshur , and he brought Absalom to Jerusalem .
