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 be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”’”

ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૪:૩૨
આબ્શાલોમે યોઆબને ઉત્તર આપ્યો કે, “જો, મેં તને સંદેશો મોકલાવ્યો હતો કે, ‘તું અહીં આવ કે જેથી હું તારા દ્વારા રાજાને ખબર મોકલું કે, “હું ગશૂરથી શા માટે આવ્યો છું? હું હજી ત્યાં જ રહ્યો હોત તો મારા માટે વધારે સારું થાત. માટે હવે રાજા સાથે મારી રૂબરૂ મુલાકાત કરાવ. અને જો તેને મારામાં દોષ દેખાય તો તે ભલે મને મારી નાખે.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १४:३२
अबशालोम ने योआब से कहा, “मैंने तो तेरे पास यह कहला भेजा था, ‘यहाँ आना कि मैं तुझे राजा के पास यह कहने को भेजूँ, “मैं गशूर से क्यों आया? मैं अब तक वहाँ रहता तो अच्छा होता।” इसलिए अब राजा मुझे दर्शन दे; और यदि मैं दोषी हूँ, तो वह मुझे मार डाले।’”

In context

30Therefore he said to his servants, “Behold, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.

31Then Joab arose and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”

32Absalom 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 be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”’”

33So Joab came to the king and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.
