2 Samuel 13:23-28
23Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 after two fullH3117 yearsH8141 that AbsalomH53 1hadH1961 sheepshearersH1494 in Baal-hazorH1178, whichH834 is nearH5973 EphraimH669, and AbsalomH53 invitedH7121 allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 to celebrate. 24And AbsalomH53 cameH935 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, your servantH5650 has sheepshearersH1494; may the kingH4428 and his servantsH5650 pleaseH4994 goH1980 with your servantH5650.” 25But the kingH4428 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, “NoH408, my sonH1121, we should not allH3605 goH1980, so that we will not beH3513 aH3513 burdenH3513 to you.” Though he urgedH6555 him, he wouldH14 not goH1980; but he blessedH1288 him. 26Then 2AbsalomH53 saidH559, “If not, pleaseH4994 have my brotherH251 AmnonH550 goH1980 with us.” But the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 should he goH1980 with you?” 27Nevertheless AbsalomH53 urgedH6555 him, so he letH7971 AmnonH550 and allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 goH7971 with him.
28Then AbsalomH53 commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, “SeeH7200 nowH4994, 3when Amnon’sH550 heartH3820 is cheerfulH2895 with wineH3196, and I sayH559 to you, ‘StrikeH5221 AmnonH550,’ then putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191. Do not fearH3372; have I not commandedH6680 you myselfH595? BeH2388 courageousH2388 and be 4valiantH1121H2428.”
