2 Samuel 13:23-33

23Now it cameH1961 about after two fullH3117 yearsH8141 that AbsalomH53 1hadH1961 sheepshearersH1494 in Baal-hazorH1178, whichH834 is nearH5973 EphraimH669, and AbsalomH53 invitedH7121 allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121. 24AbsalomH53 cameH935 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, your servantH5650 has sheepshearersH1494; pleaseH4994 let the kingH4428 and his servantsH5650 goH1980 with your servantH5650.” 25But the kingH4428 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, “NoH408, my sonH1121, we should not allH3605 goH1980, for we will be burdensomeH3513 to you.” Although he 2urgedH6555 him, he wouldH14 not goH1980, but blessedH1288 him. 26Then 3AbsalomH53 saidH559, “If not, pleaseH4994 let my brotherH251 AmnonH550 goH1980 with us.” And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 should he goH1980 with you?” 27But when AbsalomH53 4urgedH6555 him, he letH7971 AmnonH550 and allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 goH7971 with him.

28AbsalomH53 commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, “SeeH7200 nowH4994, 5when Amnon’sH550 heartH3820 is merryH2895 with wineH3196, and when I sayH559 to you, ‘StrikeH5221 AmnonH550,’ then putH4191 him to deathH4191. Do not fearH3372; have not I myselfH595 commandedH6680 you? Be courageousH2388 and be 6valiantH1121H2428.” 29The servantsH5288 of AbsalomH53 didH6213 to AmnonH550 justH3512 as AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680. Then allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 aroseH6965 and eachH376 mountedH7392 7his muleH6505 and fledH5127.

30Now it was while they were on the wayH1870 that the reportH8052 cameH935 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, “AbsalomH53 has struckH5221 downH5221 allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, and not oneH259 of them is leftH3498.” 31Then the kingH4428 aroseH6965, 8toreH7167 his clothesH899 and 9layH7901 on the groundH776; and allH3605 his servantsH5650 were standingH5324 by with clothesH899 tornH7167. 3210JonadabH3082, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093, David’sH1732 brotherH251, 11respondedH6030H559, “Do not let my lordH113 12supposeH559 they have putH4191 to deathH4191 allH3605 the youngH5288 menH5288, the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, for AmnonH550 aloneH905 is deadH4191; becauseH3588 by the 13intentH6310 of AbsalomH53 this has beenH1961 determinedH7760 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 that he violatedH6031 his sisterH269 TamarH8559. 33NowH6258 therefore, do not let my lordH113 the kingH4428 14takeH7760 the reportH1697 to 15heartH3820, namelyH559, ‘allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 are deadH4191,’ for onlyH905 AmnonH550 is deadH4191.”
