2 Samuel 14:24, 28, 32

But the king said, “He must go to his own house; he must not see my face.” So Absalom went to his own house and did not see the face of the king.

Absalom lived two years in Jerusalem without seeing the king’s face.

Absalom said to Joab, “Look, I sent word to you and said, ‘Come here so I can send you to the king to ask, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there!” ’ Now then, I want to see the king’s face, and if I am guilty of anything, let him put me to death.”
