Absalom's Revenge on Amnon
23 And it came to pass after the space of two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom called all the king's sons,📜💬📚
24 and he came to the king, & said to him: Behold thy servant's sheep are to be shorn: Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.📜💬📚
25 And the king said to Absalom: Do not so my son, request not that we come all, & charge thee. And when he was earnest with him, and he would not go, he blessed him.📜💬📚
26 And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at the least let Amnon my brother, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he go with thee.📜💬📚
27 Absalom therefore was earnest with him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.📜💬📚
28 And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Mark when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and play the valiant man.📜💬📚
29 Therefore the servants of Absalom did against Amnon, as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king's sons rising gat up every one upon their mules, and fled.📜💬📚
