Listen to 2 Samuel 14:30

2 Samuel 14:30 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:30

Therefore he said unto his servants
That did his business for him in the field, in keeping his flocks, and tilling his ground:

see Joab's field is near mine:
for great personages in those days attended to husbandry:

and he hath barley there, go and set it on fire;
it being ripe, and so capable of being fired, and therefore must be some time in March or April, when barley harvest began; he served Joab as Samson did the Philistines, ( Judges 15:4 ) ; which shows him to be a bold, and revengeful, and ungrateful man, to use his friend, and the general of the king's army, after this manner:

and Absalom's servants set the field on fire;
as their master had bid them, and which is no wonder; for as they murdered Ammon at his command, they would not stop at burning Joab's field, when he bid them do it; see ( 2 Samuel 13:28 2 Samuel 13:29 ) .

2 Samuel 14:30 In-Context

28 Absalón vivió dos años en Jerusalén, pero nunca pudo ver al rey.
29 Así que mandó llamar a Joab para pedirle que intercediera por él, pero Joab se negó a ir. Entonces Absalón volvió a enviar por él una segunda vez, pero de nuevo Joab se negó.
30 Finalmente Absalón les dijo a sus siervos: «Vayan y préndanle fuego al campo de cebada de Joab, el que está junto al mío». Entonces fueron y le prendieron fuego al campo tal como Absalón les había mandado.
31 Entonces Joab fue a la casa de Absalón y le reclamó:
—¿Por qué tus siervos le prendieron fuego a mi campo?
32 Absalón contestó:
—Porque quería que le preguntaras al rey por qué me trajo de Gesur si no tenía intención de verme. Mejor me hubiera quedado allá. Déjame ver al rey; si me encuentra culpable de algo, entonces que me mate.
