2 Samuel 14:29-33
29Then AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for JoabH3097, to sendH7971 him to the kingH4428, but he wouldH14 not comeH935 to him. So he sentH7971 word againH5750 a secondH8145 timeH8145, but he wouldH14 not comeH935.
30Therefore he saidH559 to his servantsH5650, “SeeH7200, 1Joab’sH3097 plotH2513 is nextH413H3027 to mine, and he has barleyH8184 thereH8033; goH1980 and setH3341 it on fireH784.” So Absalom’sH53 servantsH5650 setH3341 the plotH2513 on fireH784.
31Then JoabH3097 gotH6965 upH6965, cameH935 to AbsalomH53 at his houseH1004, and saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 have your servantsH5650 setH3341 my plotH2513 on fireH784?”
32AbsalomH53 2answeredH559 JoabH3097, “BeholdH2009, I sentH7971 for you, sayingH559, ‘ComeH935 hereH2008, so that I may sendH7971 you to the kingH4428, to sayH559, “WhyH4100 have I comeH935 from GeshurH1650? It would be betterH2896 for me stillH5750 to be thereH8033.”’ NowH6258 then, let me seeH7200 the king’sH4428 faceH6440, 3and ifH518 thereH3426 isH3426 guiltH5771 in me, he can have me executedH4191.”
33So when JoabH3097 cameH935 to the kingH4428 and toldH5046 him, he summonedH7121 AbsalomH53. Then Absalom cameH935 to the kingH4428 and prostratedH2331 himself 4with his faceH639 to the groundH776 beforeH6440 the kingH4428; and 5the kingH4428 kissedH5401 AbsalomH53.
