2 Samuel 13:22-29

22And AbsalomH53 spakeH1696 unto his brother AmnonH550 neither goodH2896 nor badH7451: for AbsalomH53 hatedH8130 AmnonH550, becauseH1697 he had forcedH6031 his sisterH269 TamarH8559.

23And it came to pass after two fullH3117 yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 had sheepshearersH1494 in Baal–hazorH1178, which is beside EphraimH669: and AbsalomH53 invitedH7121 all the king’sH4428 sonsH1121. 24And AbsalomH53 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Behold now, thy servantH5650 hath sheepshearersH1494; letH3212 the kingH4428, I beseech thee, and his servantsH5650 goH3212 with thy servantH5650. 25And the kingH4428 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, Nay, my sonH1121, let us not all now goH3212, lest we be chargeableH3513 unto thee. And he pressedH6555 him: howbeit he wouldH14 not goH3212, but blessedH1288 him. 26Then saidH559 AbsalomH53, If not, I pray thee, let my brotherH251 AmnonH550 goH3212 with us. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Why should he goH3212 with thee? 27But AbsalomH53 pressedH6555 him, that he let AmnonH550 and all the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 goH7971 with him.

28Now AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, MarkH7200 ye now when Amnon’sH550 heartH3820 is merryH2896 with wineH3196, and when I sayH559 unto you, SmiteH5221 AmnonH550; then killH4191 him, fearH3372 not: have not I commandedH6680 you? be courageousH2388, and be valiantH2428H1121.12 29And the servantsH5288 of AbsalomH53 didH6213 unto AmnonH550 as AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680. Then all the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 aroseH6965, and every manH376 gat him upH7392 upon his muleH6505, and fledH5127.3
