Thematic Bible: Barley field of, burned by absalom

But he would not come to him. And he sent again, and for all that he would not come. Then he said unto his servants, "Behold, Joab hath a parcel of land fast by mine, and hath barley therein. Go and set it on fire." And Absalom's servants went and set it on fire. Then Joab arose and came to Absalom unto his house and said unto him, "Wherefore have thy servants burned my field with fire?" read more.
And Absalom said to Joab, "Behold, I sent for thee desiring thee to come; because I would have sent thee to the king, for to say wherefore I am come from Geshur. It had been as good for me to have bidden there still. Now therefore let me come to the king's presence, or else if there be any trespass in me, kill me." And Joab went to the king and told him. And he sent for Absalom; which, when he was come, fell to the ground on his face before the king. And the king kissed him.
