Tetapi berkatalah raja: "Ia harus pergi ke rumahnya sendiri, jangan ia datang ke hadapanku." Jadi pergilah Absalom ke rumahnya sendiri dan tidak datang ke hadapan raja.
Tetapi titah baginda: Baiklah ia pulang ke rumahnya, jangan dipandangnya mukaku! Maka sebab itu pulanglah Absalom ke rumahnya, tiada boleh dipandangnya akan wajah baginda.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king said,.... Very probably to Joab, when he informed him of Absalom's being come to Jerusalem:
let him turn to his own house; depart from the king's palace, where Joab had brought him, and go to his own house, which was in Jerusalem; for here he had one before he fled to Geshur; see 2 Samuel 13:20;
and let him not see my face; which he ordered, partly to show his detestation of the crime he had been guilty of, and some remaining resentment in his mind at him on account of it; and partly for his credit among some of the people at least, who might think it was a crime so great as not to go unpunished, though others were of a different mind; and also for the greater humiliation of Absalom, who, the king might think, had not been sufficiently humbled for his sin, or had not truly repented of it:
so Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face; in obedience to his father's orders.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Let him not see my face - We are not told why David adopted this half-measure. Possibly Bath-sheba’s influence may have been exerted to keep Absalom in disgrace for the sake of Solomon.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 14:24. Let him not see my face. — He would not at once restore him to favour, though he had now remitted his crime; so that he should not die for it. It was highly proper to show this detestation of the crime, and respect for justice.
