In context — 2 Samuel 14:32
And Absalom said to Joab, “Behold, I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here so I may send you to the king to say, “Why did I come from Geshur? It would have been better for me to still be there.” Now then, let me see the king’s face and, if there is guilt in me, let him put me to death.’”
