2 Samuel 14:29-31

Names of God Bible

²⁹ So Absalom sent for Joab in order to send him to the king, but Joab refused to come. Absalom sent for him a second time, but he still refused to come. ³⁰ So Absalom said to his servants, “Look, Joab’s field is next to mine. He has barley in it. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set it on fire.

Joab’s servants came to him in grief and said, “Absalom’s servants have set your field on fire.”^[a]

³¹ Then Joab immediately went to Absalom at his home. “Why did your servants set my field on fire?” he asked.
