2Samuel:14:29-33
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore Absalom sent for Joab ,
to have sent him to the king ;
but he would not come to him :
and when he sent again the second time ,
he would not come .
*
Therefore he said unto his servants ,
See ,
Joab '
s field is near mine ,
and he hath barley there ;
go and set it on fire .
And Absalom '
s servants set the field on fire .
*
Then Joab arose ,
and came to Absalom unto his house ,
and said unto him ,
Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire ?
*
And Absalom answered Joab ,
Behold ,
I sent unto thee ,
saying ,
Come hither ,
that I may send thee to the king ,
to say ,
Wherefore am I come from Geshur ?
it had been good for me to have been there still :
now therefore let me see the king '
s face ;
and if there be any iniquity in me ,
let him kill me .
*
So Joab came to the king ,
and told him :
and when he had called for Absalom ,
he came to the king ,
and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king :
and the king kissed Absalom .
