2 Samuel 13:23-29

23And it came to pass after two full yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 had sheepshearers in Baal-Hazor, which is beside EphraimH669; and AbsalomH53 invited all the king's sonsH1121.

24And AbsalomH53 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Behold, now, thy servantH5650 has sheepshearers; let the kingH4428, I pray thee, and his servantsH5650 goH935 with thy servantH5650.

25And the kingH4428 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, No, my sonH1121, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he urged him, but he wouldH14 not go; and he blessedH1288 him.

26And AbsalomH53 saidH559, If not, I pray thee, let my brotherH251 AmnonH550 go with us. And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, WhyH4100 should he go with thee?

27But AbsalomH53 pressed him; and he let AmnonH550 and all the king's sonsH1121 goH7971 with him.

28And AbsalomH53 commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, Mark ye now when Amnon's heartH3820 is merry with wineH3196, and when I sayH559 to you, Smite AmnonH550; then slay him, fearH3372 not: have not I commandedH6680 you? beH1961 courageous, and beH1961 valiant.

29And the servantsH5288 of AbsalomH53 did to AmnonH550 as AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680. Then all the king's sonsH1121 aroseH6965, and they rodeH7392 each upon his muleH6505 and fledH5127.
