2 Samuel 14:29-31

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁹ Then Absalom sent for Joab in order to send him to the king, but Joab was unwilling to come. So he sent again, a second time, but he still wouldn’t come. ³⁰ Then Absalom said to his servants, “See, Joab has a field right next to mine, and he has barley there. Go and set fire to it!” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.^[a]

³¹ Then Joab came to Absalom’s house and demanded, “Why did your servants set my field on fire?”
