28. Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem and did not see the king's face.
29. So Absalom sent for Joab to send him to the king, but he would not come to him; even when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
30. Therefore Absalom said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire. So Absalom's servants set the field afire.
