2 Samuel 14:29-31

Modern English Version

²⁹ Then Absalom sent a message to Joab, requesting that he send him to the king, but he was not willing to come to him. So he sent a second message, but still he was not willing to come. ³⁰ Then he said to his servants, “See, Joab’s field is next to mine, and he has barley there. Go, set it on fire.” So the servants of Absalom set the field on fire.

³¹ Then Joab arose, came to Absalom at his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my plot of land on fire?”
