And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.
han thi seruauntis brent my corn bi fier? And Absolon answeride to Joab, Y sente to þee, and bisouyte þat thou schuldist come to me, and þat Y schulde sende þee to þe kyng, þat thou schuldist seie to hym, Whi cam Y fro Gessur? It was betere to me to be þere; þerfor Y biseche, þat Y se þe face of þe kyng, þat if he is myndeful of my wickidnesse, sle he me.
