2 Samuel 14:28-32
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
28
Now Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, yet he did not see the king’s face.
29
Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. So he sent
word
again a second time, but he would not come.
30
Therefore he said to his servants, 'See, Joab’s plot is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.' So Absalom’s servants set the plot on fire.
31
Then Joab got up, came to Absalom at his house, and said to him, 'Why have your servants set my plot on fire?'
32
Absalom answered Joab, 'Behold, I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say, 'Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there.'?’ Now then, let me see the king’s face, and if there is guilt in me, he can have me executed.'
King James Version
Chapter 14
28
So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
29
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.
30
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.
31
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
32
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 14
28
Absalom resided in Jerusalem two years but never saw the king.
29
Then Absalom sent for Joab in order to send him to the king, but Joab was unwilling to come to him. So he sent again, a second time, but he still would not come.
30
Then Absalom said to his servants, "See, Joab has a field right next to mine, and he has barley there. Go and set fire to it!" So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.
31
Then Joab came to Absalom’s house and demanded, "Why did your servants set my field on fire?"
32
"Look," Absalom explained to Joab, "I sent for you and said, ‘Come here. I want to send you to the king to ask: Why have I come back from Geshur? I’d be better off if I were still there.’ So now, let me see the king. If I am guilty, let him kill me."
New Living Translation
Chapter 14
28
Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years, but he never got to see the king.
29
Then Absalom sent for Joab to ask him to intercede for him, but Joab refused to come. Absalom sent for him a second time, but again Joab refused to come.
30
So Absalom said to his servants, 'Go and set fire to Joab’s barley field, the field next to mine.' So they set his field on fire, as Absalom had commanded.
31
Then Joab came to Absalom at his house and demanded, 'Why did your servants set my field on fire?'
32
And Absalom replied, 'Because I wanted you to ask the king why he brought me back from Geshur if he didn’t intend to see me. I might as well have stayed there. Let me see the king; if he finds me guilty of anything, then let him kill me.'
English Standard Version
