2 Samuel 14:27–31 · Berean Standard Bible

27 Three sons were born to Absalom, and a daughter named Tamar, who was a beautiful woman.

28 Now Absalom lived in Jerusalem two years without seeing the face of the king.

29 Then he sent for Joab to send him to the king, but Joab refused to come to him. So Absalom sent a second time, but Joab still would not come.

30 Then Absalom said to his servants, “Look, Joab’s field is next to mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire!” And Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.

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