2 Samuel 13:24-28

24Then Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants come with your servant.”

25But the king said to Absalom, “No, my son. Let’s not all go—we don’t want to be burdensome to you.” Though he urged him, he would not go, though he blessed him.

26Then Absalom said, “If not, then please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the king said to him.

27But when Absalom pressed him, he let Amnon go with him, along with all the king’s sons.

28Then Absalom commanded his young men saying, “Now watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine. When I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon!’ then put him to death! Have no fear! Isn’t it I who commanded you? Be strong! Be sons of valor!”
