Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Absolom came also unto the king, and said, See, I pray thee, thy servant hath, sheepshearers,––I pray thee, let the king and his servants go with thy servant. ²⁵ And the king said unto Absolom––Nay! my son, do not, I pray thee, let us all go, lest we be burdensome upon thee. And, though he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him. ²⁶ Then said Absolom, If not, then, I pray thee, let Amnon my brother go with us. And the king said unto him, Wherefore should he go with thee? ²⁷ And Absolom urged him,––so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
