29. Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. So he sent again a second time, but he would not come.
30. Therefore he said to his servants, "See, Joab's field is next to 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, came to Absalom at his house and said to him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?"
