2 Samuele 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 Samuele 14:30 In-Context

28 Absalom dimorò in Gerusalemme due anni, senza vedere la faccia del re.
29 Poi Absalom fece chiamare Joab per mandarlo dal re; ma egli non volle venire a lui; lo mandò a chiamare una seconda volta, ma Joab non volle venire.
30 Allora Absalom disse ai suoi servi: "Guardate! il campo di Joab è vicino al mio, e v’è dell’orzo; andate a mettervi il fuoco!" E i servi di Absalom misero il fuoco al campo.
31 Allora Joab si levò, andò a casa di Absalom, e gli disse: "Perché i tuoi servi hanno eglino dato fuoco al mio campo?"
32 Absalom rispose a Joab: "Io t’avevo mandato a dire: Viene qua, ch’io possa mandarti dal re a dirgli: Perché son io tornato da Gheshur? Meglio per me s’io vi fossi ancora! Or dunque fa’ ch’io vegga la faccia del re! e se v’è in me qualche iniquità, ch’ei mi faccia morire!"
