2 Samuel 14:30-32

Contemporary English Version

³⁰ Finally, Absalom told his servants, “Joab's barley field is right next to mine. Go set it on fire!” And they did.

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

³² Absalom answered, “You didn't pay any attention when I sent for you. I want you to ask my father why he told me to come back from Geshur. I was better off there. I want to see my father now! If I'm guilty, let him kill me.”
