Charles Spurgeon

1834–1892

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 563: “The Barley Field on Fire” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1864)

YOU REMEMBER the historical narrative. Absalom had fled from Jerusalem under fear of David’s anger. He was after a time permitted to return; but he was not admitted into the presence of the king. Earnestly desiring to be restored to his former posts of honor and favor, he besought Joab to come to him, intending to request him to act as mediator. Joab, having lost much of his liking for the young prince, refused to come; and, though he was sent for repeatedly, he declined to attend at his desire.
