30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Jo´ab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Ab´salom's servants set the field on fire.
31 Then Jo´ab arose, and came to Ab´salom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
32 And Ab´salom answered Jo´ab, 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.
33 So Jo´ab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Ab´salom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Ab´salom.
