web 2Samuel:13:23-39
web@2Samuel:13:23 @It happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
web@2Samuel:13:24 @Absalom came to the king, and said, "See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant."
web@2Samuel:13:25 @The king said to Absalom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
web@2Samuel:13:26 @Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." The king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"
web@2Samuel:13:27 @But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
web@2Samuel:13:28 @Absalom commanded his servants, saying, "Mark now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, 'Strike Amnon,' then kill him. Don't be afraid. Haven't I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!"
web@2Samuel:13:29 @The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man got up on his mule, and fled.
web@2Samuel:13:30 @It happened, while they were in the way, that the news came to David, saying, "Absalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left!"
web@2Samuel:13:31 @Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
web@2Samuel:13:32 @Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered, "Don't let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
web@2Samuel:13:33 @Now therefore don't let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead."
web@2Samuel:13:34 @But Absalom fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.
web@2Samuel:13:35 @Jonadab said to the king, "Behold, the king's sons are coming! It is as your servant said."
web@2Samuel:13:36 @It happened, as soon as he had finished speaking, that behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
web@2Samuel:13:37 @But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
web@2Samuel:13:38 @So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
web@2Samuel:13:39 @King David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
