So Absalom said to his servants, "Look, Joab's field is next to mine, and it has barley growing in it. Go and set fire to it." So they went and set the field on fire.

Joab went to Absalom's house and demanded, "Why did your servants set fire to my field?"

But when the servants told Queen Vashti of the king's command, she refused to come. This made the king furious.

He sent his servants to tell the invited guests to come to the feast, but they did not want to come.
