And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, Why have I come from Geshur? it would have 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 he said, Well; I will make an alliance with you: but one thing I require of you, that is, you shall not see my face, unless you first bring Michal Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.
I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you into Egypt.
