Absalom is showing respect to the king. Alternate translation: “bowed low to the ground to honor the king”

(Occurrence 0) the king kissed Absalom
(Some words not found in UHB: and,went Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) to/towards the=king and,told to=him/it and=he/it_called to/towards ʼAⱱīshālōm and,came to/towards the=king and,bowed_down to=him/it on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face,his towards=land to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the=king and,kissed the=king on,Absalom )
This implies that the king forgave and restored Absalom. The full meaning of this can be made clear.
14:33 Absalom bowed low, assuming a posture of respect and deference to the king’s majesty (see also 14:4, 22).
• and the king kissed him: The lack of conversation, hugging (cp. Luke 15:20), or weeping (cp. Gen 33:4; 45:2, 14) suggests that this was a formal meeting rather than an affectionate reunion.
