Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Yoav's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Avshalom's servants set the field on fire.
Therefore Avshalom sent for Yoav, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
Then said Yoav, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Avshalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
