And Absalom will send to Joab to send him to the king, and he would not come to him: and he will send yet the second time, and he would not come. And he will say to his servants, See, Joab's portion to my hand, and barley to him there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the portion on fire. And Joab will rise and come to Absalom to the house, and say to him, Wherefore did thy servants set on fire the portion which is to me? read more.
And Absalom will say to Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, and I will send thee to the king, saying, Wherefore came I from Geshur? Good to me even I was there: and now I will see the king's face; and if there is iniquity in me, and kill me. And Joab will come to the king and announce to him: and he will call for Absalom, and he will come to the king and worship to him upon his face to the earth before the king: and the king will kiss Absalom.
