2 Samuel 14:29

Then Absalom sent for Joab , to send him to the king , but Joab would not come to him. And he sent a second time , but Joab would not come .

Then Absalom sent for Joab in order to send him to the king, but Joab refused to come to him. So he sent a second time, but he refused to come.

Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, 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.
