2 Samuel 14:28-33
28Now Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, aand did not see the king’s face. 29Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he was not willing to come to him. So he sent again a second time, but he was not willing to come. 30Therefore he said to his servants, “See, aJoab’s portion of land is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the portion of land on fire. 31Then Joab arose, came to Absalom at his house and said to him, “Why have your servants set my portion of land on fire?” 32And Absalom 1answered Joab, “Behold, I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here, 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.”’ So now, let me see the king’s face, aand if there is iniquity in me, let him put me to death.” 33So Joab came to the king and told him, and he called for Absalom. Thus he came to the king and prostrated himself on his 1face to the ground before the king, and athe king kissed Absalom.
