2 Samuel 14:31-33

Easy-to-Read Version

³¹ Joab got up and came to Absalom’s house. He said to him, “Why did your servants burn my field?”

³² Absalom said to Joab, “I sent a message to you. I asked you to come here. I wanted to send you to the king to ask him why he asked me to come home from Geshur. I cannot see him, so it would have been better for me to stay in Geshur. Now let me see the king. If I have sinned, he can kill me!”
