Commentary

Gill's Exposition

So Joab came to the king, and told him,.... What Absalom had said to him: and when he had called for Absalom; sent messengers to his house to order him

to come to him: he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; made a very reverend bow to him, according to the custom of those times, throwing himself at his feet in great submission to him: and the king kissed Absalom; in token of his reconciliation to him; which laid the foundation of his after troubles from him, related in the following chapters.
