27. And to Aḇshalom were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a woman of fair appearance.
28. And Aḇshalom dwelt in Yerushalayim, two years, and he had not seen the sovereign’s face.
29. Then Aḇshalom sent for Yo’aḇ, to send him to the sovereign, but he would not come to him. And he sent again the second time, but he would not come.
30. And he said to his servants, “See, Yo’aḇ’s field is near mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” And Aḇshalom’s servants set the field on fire.
31. Then Yo’aḇ rose up and came to the house of Aḇshalom, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”
