2 Samuel14:24
24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face . So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the kings face.
Lest whilst he shewed some mercy to Absalom, he should seem to approve of his sin, and thereby wound his own conscience, and lose his honour, and encourage him and others to such like attempts; and that by this means Absalom might be drawn to a more thorough humiliation and true repentance.
