 Absalom said to his servants, Ye know the field of Joab beside my field, the field of his having ripe barley; therefore go ye, and burn ye it up with fire. Therefore the servants of Absalom burnt the barley corn with fire. Absalom said to his servants, Ye know Joabs field beside my field, the one with the ripe barley; go ye, and burn it down. And so Absaloms servants burned down the crop.
