2 Samuel 14:30-32
English Standard Version
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?” 32 Absalom answered Joab, “Behold, I sent word to you, ‘Come here, that I may send you to the king, to ask, “Why have I come from (A)Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still.” Now therefore let me go into the presence of the king, (B)and if there is guilt in me, let him put me to death.’”
