2 Samuel 14:30-32

Expanded Bible

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

³¹ Then Joab went to Absalom’s house and said to him, “Why did your servants burn my field?”

³² Absalom said to Joab, “I sent a message to you, asking you to come here. I wanted to send you to the king to ask him why ·he brought me home [^LI have come] from Geshur. It would have been better for me to stay there! Now let me see the ·king [^Lking’s face]. If I have ·sinned [guilt/iniquity in me], he can put me to death!”
