2 Samuel 14:30-32

New American Standard Bible 1995

³⁰ Therefore he said to his servants, “See, ^(A)Joab’s ^[a]field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the ^[b]field on fire. ³¹ Then Joab arose, came to Absalom at his house and said to him, “Why have your servants set my ^[c]field on fire?” ³² Absalom ^[d]answered Joab, “Behold, I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there.”’ Now therefore, let me see the king’s face, ^(B)and if there is iniquity in me, let him put me to death.”
