ABI SHALOM DEATHIFIES AMNON
And so be it, after two years of days, Abi Shalom has sheepshearers in Baal Hasor beside Ephrayim: and Abi Shalom calls all the sons of the sovereign:
24 and Abi Shalom comes to the sovereign and says, Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; may the sovereign, I beseech you, and his servants go with your servant.
25 And the sovereign says to Abi Shalom, No, my son, not all of us go now lest we be too heavy to you. - and he breaches on him; but he wills to not go; and he blesses him.
26 And Abi Shalom says, If not, I pray you, have my brother Amnon go with us. And the sovereign says to him, Why have him go with you?
27 And Abi Shalom breaches on him to send Amnon away with all the sons of the sovereign.
28 And Abi Shalom misvahs his lads, saying, Now see, when the heart of Amnon is good with wine, and I say to you, Smite Amnon! Deathify him! Awe not! I - misvah I you not? Strengthen! Sons of valour!
29 And the lads of Abi Shalom work to Amnon as Abi Shalom misvahs: and all the sons of the sovereign rise and every man rides on his mule and flees.
