2 Samuel 13:24-28 And Absalom came to the king and said, Behold now, your servant has shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ And Absalom came to the king and said, Behold now, your servant has shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant. ²⁵ And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go now, lest we be too heavy upon you. And he pressed him. He would not go, however, but blessed him. ²⁶ Then Absalom said, If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us? And the king said to him, Why should he go with you? ²⁷ But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. ²⁸ And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, And watch when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Strike Amnon, you shall kill him. Do not fear. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous, and be brave.
