BRAGADATYJAH 947
David embraces his son Absalom
Accordingly the woman confesses all to the king and told the part played by the kind’s commander in getting her to speak to the king. So the king called Joab and commanded him to go and fetch his son Absalom to him. And job fell on his face and prostrated himself before the king and thanked him saying, “Today I know that thy servant has found grace in thy sight. For the king has fulfilled the request of his servant.” So Joab arose and went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. And the king commanded that Absalom go to his own house and not see his face; so Absalom went to his own house and saw not the face of the king. And unto Absalom were born three sons and one daughter who was named Tamar and she was a beautiful woman of fair countenance. And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem during which time he saw not the king’s face. So Absalom sent twice to Joab to come to him, intending to send him with a message to the king; but Joab would not come. So Absalom commanded his servants to set Joab’s barley field on fire. So Joab went to Absalom’s house and asked him why he had his field set on fire? And Absalom told him it was as a result of his refusal to come to him the two times he had sent to him asking him to come to him. So Joab went to the king and told him what had transpired between himself and Absalom. And so the king sent for Absalom, and when he come to him he paid him homage to the king and the king embraced and kissed him.
