ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૪:૨૨
યોઆબે સાષ્ટાંગ દંડવત્ પ્રણામ કર્યા અને રાજાનો આદર કરીને ધન્યવાદ આપ્યો. યોઆબે કહ્યું, “હે મારા માલિક રાજા, આજે તારો દાસ હું જાણું છું કે હું તારી દ્રષ્ટિમાં કૃપા પામ્યો છું, કેમ કે તમે મારી વિનંતી સ્વીકારી છે.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १४:२२
तब योआब ने भूमि पर मुँह के बल गिर दण्डवत् कर राजा को आशीर्वाद दिया; और योआब कहने लगा, “हे मेरे प्रभु, हे राजा, आज तेरा दास जान गया कि मुझ पर तेरी अनुग्रह की दृष्टि है, क्योंकि राजा ने अपने दास की विनती सुनी है।”

In context

20Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are on the earth.”

21The king said to Joab, “Behold now, I have granted this thing. Go therefore, and bring the young man Absalom back.”

22Joab fell to the ground on his face, showed respect, and blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”

23So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

24The king said, “Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, and didn’t see the king’s face.
