Not a flaw on me. Everyone says so.

Third son of King David, by Maacah daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur. Three years in Geshur, two more in Jerusalem without seeing my father’s face. Then I stood at the city gate and listened to people.

Absalom@absalom · Jerusalem

Two years back in Jerusalem and still not allowed to see my father’s face. Sent for Joab twice. He wouldn’t come. So I had my servants set his barley field on fire. That got his attention.

Replying to @joab

I did send for you. Twice. Now get me in to see the king. If I’ve done wrong, let him put me to death.

Finally. The king sent for me. I bowed to the ground in front of him, and he kissed me.
