Expanded Bible

²⁸ Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two full years without seeing ·King David [^Lthe king’s face]. ²⁹ Then Absalom sent for Joab so he could send him to the king [^Cto intercede for him], but Joab would not come. Absalom sent a message a second time, but Joab still refused to come. 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.
