2 Samuel 14:28-30

New Century Version

²⁸ Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two full years without seeing King David. ²⁹ Then Absalom sent for Joab so he could send him 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, and he has barley growing there. Go burn it.” So Absalom’s servants set fire to Joab’s field.
