2 Samuel 14:28-30

International Standard Version

²⁸ Meanwhile, Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years, but never saw the king’s face. ²⁹ After this, Absalom sent for Joab, intending to send him to the king, but Joab^[a] would not come. Absalom^[b] sent for him a second time, but he still^[c] would not come. ³⁰ So Absalom^[d] told his servants, “Observe that Joab’s grain field lies next to mine. He has barley planted there. Go set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.
