2 Samuel 14:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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

²⁹ He sent therefore to Joab, to send him to the king: but he would not come to him. And when he had sent the second time, and he would not come to him,

³⁰ He said to his servants: You know the field of Joab near my field, that hath a crop of barley: go now and set it on fire. So the servants of Absalom set the corn on fire. And Joab's servants coming with their garments rent, said: The servants of Absalom have set part of the field on fire.
