gltv@2Samuel:13:23 @ And after two years it happened that Absalom had shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim. And Absalom called to all the sons of the king.

gltv@2Samuel:13:24 @ And Absalom came to the king and said, Behold, your servant now has shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.

gltv@2Samuel:13:25 @ And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go now, and we shall not be too heavy on you. But he urged him, and he was not willing to go, but he blessed him.

gltv@2Samuel:13:26 @ And Absalom said, If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?

gltv@2Samuel:13:27 @ And Absalom urged him, and he sent Amnon with him, and all the king's sons.

gltv@2Samuel:13:28 @ And Absalom commanded his young men, saying, Now watch when Amnon's heart is glad with wine, and when I say to you, Strike Amnon, you shall kill him. Do not fear. Did not I command you? Be strong, and be valiant.

gltv@2Samuel:13:29 @ And the young men of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom commanded. And all the king's sons rose up, and they each rode on his mule, and fled.

gltv@2Samuel:13:30 @ And it happened while they were in the highway, even the report had come to David, saying, Absalom has stricken all the sons of the king, and not one of them is left.

gltv@2Samuel:13:31 @ And the king rose up and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants were standing by with torn garments.

gltv@2Samuel:13:32 @ And Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, Do not let my lord say, They have killed all of the young men, the king's sons; for only Amnon is dead. For it has been settled by Absalom's command from the day of his humbling of his sister Tamar.

gltv@2Samuel:13:33 @ And now, do not let my lord the king lay the word to heart, saying, All the king's sons have died; for only Amnon is dead.

gltv@2Samuel:13:34 @ And Absalom fled. And the young man who was watching lifted up his eyes and looked. And, behold! Many people were coming by the highway behind him, by the side of the hill.

gltv@2Samuel:13:35 @ And Jonadab said to the king, See, the sons of the king have come, as the word of your servant, so it has been.

gltv@2Samuel:13:36 @ And it happened as he finished speaking, behold, the king's sons came. And they lifted up their voice and wept. And also the king and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.

gltv@2Samuel:13:37 @ And Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son all the time.

gltv@2Samuel:13:38 @ And Absalom had fled, and had gone to Geshur, and was there three years.

gltv@2Samuel:13:39 @ And king David determined to go out to Absalom, for he had been comforted for Amnon, for he was dead.
