23 Two years later Absalom had sheepshearers at Baal Hazor near Ephraim. He invited all the king's sons. 24 Absalom went to the king and said, |Since I have sheepshearers, Your Majesty and your officials are invited [to feast] with me.| 25 |No, Son,| the king answered Absalom. |If we all go, we'll be a burden to you.| Even when Absalom continued to urge him, David did not want to go, though he did give Absalom his blessing. 26 So Absalom said, |If you won't go, then please let my brother Amnon go with us.| |Why should he go with you?| the king asked him. 27 But when Absalom urged him, he let Amnon and all [the rest of] the king's sons go with him. 2 Samuel 13:23-27, God's Word Translation.
