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.

And Absalom's answer was, See, I sent to you saying, Come here, so that I may send you to the king to say, Why have I come back from Geshur? it would be better for me to be there still: let me now see the king's face, and if there is any sin in me, let him put me to death.

Ο δε Αβεσσαλωμ απεκριθη προς τον Ιωαβ, Ιδου, απεστειλα προς σε, λεγων, Ελθε ενταυθα, δια να σε πεμψω προς τον βασιλεα να ειπης, Δια τι ηλθον απο Γεσσουρ; ηθελεν εισθαι καλητερον δι' εμε να ημην ετι εκει· τωρα λοιπον ας ιδω το προσωπον του βασιλεως· και αν ηναι αδικια εν εμοι, ας με θανατωση.
