2 Samuel 14:28-30

International Children’s Bible

²⁸ So Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two full years without seeing King David. ²⁹ Then Absalom sent for Joab. Absalom wanted to send Joab to the king. 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. He has barley growing there. Go burn it.” So Absalom’s servants set fire to Joab’s field.
