What reason did Avshalom (Absalom) give Yoav (Joab) for setting Yoav's barley field on fire? |
Because the sight of barley growing there bothered him
He said it was an accidental fire
He said that there were many thorns in the field, so he burned it down so it could be sown again
He was upset that Yoav brought him back to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), yet he wasn't able to see his father
