menu_book Verse in Context

27 Three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a woman with a beautiful face.

28 Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, and he didn’t see the king’s face.

29 Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. Then he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

30 Therefore he said to his servants, “Behold, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.

31 Then Joab arose and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”
