2 Samuel 14:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:28

So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem
After his return from Geshur:

and saw not the king's face;
all that time; which was owing either to the king's resentment of the fact committed by him, or to state policy.

2 Samuel 14:28 In-Context

26 When he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year's end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it); he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king's weight.

27 To Avshalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a beautiful face.

28 Avshalom lived two full years in Yerushalayim; and he didn't see the king's face.

29 Then Avshalom sent for Yo'av, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

30 Therefore he said to his servants, Behold, Yo'av's field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire. Avshalom's servants set the field on fire.
