So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.(2 Samuel 14:28)
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.(2 Samuel 14:29)
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.(2 Samuel 14:30)
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
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.(2 Samuel 14:32)
So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.(2 Samuel 14:33)
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.(2 Samuel 15:1)
