Exegesis
The construct upnei hammelekh {וּפְנֵ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ | ū-pə-nê ham-me-lekh} ‘the face of the king’ conveys audience, and the negative clause lo raah {לֹ֥א רָאָֽה | lōʾ rā-ʾāh} denies that access. English SVO sequencing preserves Absalom’s prolonged residence and estrangement from royal presence.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:28
And Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years without seeing the king’s face .
