2 Samuel 14:29 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:29

Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king,
&c.] To introduce him into his presence, being uneasy to be thus confined at his own house, and not suffered to come to court:

but he would not come to him;
knowing the king's mind, and being unwilling to disoblige him by a troublesome solicitation:

and when he sent again the second time, he would not come;
knowing his business with him; and perhaps between the first time of his sending and this he had sounded the king about it, and found it was not agreeable to him to admit him to access to him as yet.

27 Y le nacieron a Absal贸n tres hijos, y una hija que se llam贸 Tamar, la cual era hermosa de ver.
28 Y estuvo Absal贸n por espacio de dos a帽os en Jerusal茅n, y no vio el rostro del rey.
29 Y mand贸 Absal贸n por Joab, para enviarlo al rey; mas no quiso venir a 茅l; ni aunque envi贸 por segunda vez, quiso 茅l venir.
30 Entonces dijo a sus siervos: Bien sab茅is las tierras de Joab junto a mi lugar, donde tiene sus cebadas; id, y prenderles fuego; y los siervos de Absal贸n prendieron fuego a las tierras.
31 Se levant贸 por tanto Joab, y vino a Absal贸n a su casa, y le dijo: 驴Por qu茅 han puesto fuego tus siervos a mis tierras?
