2 Samuel 14:29-31

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁰ He said to his servants: You know the field of Joab near my field, that hath a crop of barley: go now and set it on fire. So the servants of Absalom set the corn on fire. And Joab's servants coming with their garments rent, said: The servants of Absalom have set part of the field on fire.

³¹ Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said: Why have thy servants set my corn on fire?
