23 Two years later, Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king’s sons. 24 Then he went to the king and said, “ Your servant has just hired sheepshearers. Will the king and his servants please come with your servant? ” 25 The king replied to Absalom, “ No, my son, we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he wasn’t willing to go, though he did bless him. 26 “ If not,” Absalom said, “ please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king asked him, “ Why should he go with you? ” 27 But Absalom urged him, so he sent Amnon and all the king’s sons. 2 Samuel 13:23-27, HCSB with Strong's.
