2 Samuel 14:32

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.

And Absalom {H53} answered {H559} Joab {H3097}, Behold, I sent {H7971} unto thee, saying {H559}, Come {H935} hither, that I may send {H7971} thee to the king {H4428}, to say {H559}, Wherefore am I come {H935} from Geshur {H1650}? it had been good {H2896} for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see {H7200} the king's {H4428} face {H6440}; and if there be {H3426} any iniquity {H5771} in me, let him kill {H4191} me.

Avshalom answered Yo'av, "Look, I sent a message to you to come here, so that I could send you to the king to ask, 'Why did I come from G'shur? It would have been better for me if I had stayed there. So now, let me appear before the king; and if I'm guilty of anything, he can kill me.'"

“Look,” said Absalom, “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? It would be better for me if I were still there.’ So now, let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me, 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.
