2 Samuel 14:30 WBT

²⁸  So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.

²⁹  Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, that he might send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.

³⁰  Therefore he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.

³¹  Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom, to [his] house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my field on fire?

³²  And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Why am I come from Geshur? it [had been] good for me [had I been] there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there is [any] iniquity in me, let him kill me.
