2 Samuel 14:29-31

English Standard Version

²⁹ Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but Joab would not come to him. And he sent a second time, but Joab would not come. ³⁰ Then he said to his servants, “See, Joab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.” So Absalom's servants set the field on fire.^{[a] 31} Then Joab arose and went to Absalom at his house and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”
