MLV(i)
23 And it happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
24 And Absalom came to the king and said, Behold now, your servant has sheep-shearers. Let the king, I beseech you and his servants go with your servant.
25 And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we are burdensome to you. And he pressed him. However he would not go, but blessed him.
26 Then Absalom said, If not, I beseech you, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you? 27 But Absalom pressed him and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
