I want to see the king's face

2 Samuel 14:23-33
Then Joab went to Geshur and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem. 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 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.”
Then the king summoned Absalom, and he came in and bowed down with his face to the ground before the king. And the king kissed Absalom.
But two long, frustrating years pass before he is admitted to his father's presence, and the relationship is deeply damaged.
Why?
So strange David asked Joan brought Absalom came back but did not see him for two years.
This is not a good relationship between father and son.
David was a king and refuse to face the truth in his family.
A kiss means welcome and nice to see you. Bur here kiss seems a regulation symbol only.

父子互動中有三件事來思考
1.拉不下臉，好面子，想要榮耀自己。不認輸，保留尊嚴。讓你回來要感謝我！
2.只是想念，但是沒有原諒他。
3.大衛沒有能力治理這個家，因為大衛犯罪，不行在神裏面是沒有力量，生活是聖潔的，遵行神話語的。
約押只看大衛的臉色，聖經中沒有提過約押敬畏神。約押仗勢欺人，落井下石，只看到自己的好處，敬畏大衛有好處。罪進入人後，人的關係變得複雜。
押撒龍面伏服在地，做了非常足的功夫，兩人沒有談話。無話可說。不像家人關係。
押撒龍在家被冷落，大衛沒有智慧處理家中的事，沒有好好栽培使用自己的兒子。罪使人失去能力。罪使人表裏不一。
求神讓我們對罪是敏感的。

How?
Truth love and real righteousness should be to let others know. Express our love in time.
