And it came to pass after two full years ,
that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor ,
which is beside Ephraim :
and Absalom invited all the king '
s sons .
asv @
2Samuel:13:24 @
And Absalom came to the king ,
and said ,
Behold now ,
thy servant hath sheep-shearers ;
let the king ,
I pray thee ,
and his servants go with thy servant .
asv @
2Samuel:13:25 @
And the king said to Absalom ,
Nay ,
my son ,
let us not all go ,
lest we be burdensome unto thee .
And he pressed him :
howbeit he would not go ,
but blessed him .
asv @
2Samuel:13:26 @
Then said Absalom ,
If not ,
I pray thee ,
let my brother Amnon go with us .
And the king said unto him ,
Why should he go with thee ?
asv @
2Samuel:13:27 @
But Absalom pressed him ,
and he let Amnon and all the king '
s sons go with him .
asv @
2Samuel:13:28 @
And Absalom commanded his servants ,
saying ,
Mark ye now ,
when Amnon '
s heart is merry with wine ;
and when I say unto you ,
Smite Amnon ,
then kill him ;
fear not ;
have not I commanded you ?
be courageous ,
and be valiant .
asv @
2Samuel:13:29 @
And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded .
Then all the king '
s sons arose ,
and every man gat him up upon his mule ,
and fled .

2Samuel:13:30 @
And it came to pass ,
while they were in the way ,
that the tidings came to David ,
saying ,
Absalom hath slain all the king '
s sons ,
and there is not one of them left .
asv @
2Samuel:13:31 @
Then the king arose ,
and rent his garments ,
and lay on the earth ;
and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent .

2Samuel:13:32 @
And Jonadab ,
the son of Shimeah ,
David '
s brother ,
answered and said ,
Let not 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 hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar .
asv @
2Samuel:13:33 @
Now therefore let not 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 .

2Samuel:13:34 @
But Absalom fled .
And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes ,
and looked ,
and ,
behold ,
there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him .
asv @
2Samuel:13:35 @
And Jonadab said unto the king ,
Behold ,
the king '
s sons are come :
as thy servant said ,
so it is .
asv @
2Samuel:13:36 @
And it came to pass ,
as soon as he had made an end of speaking ,
that ,
behold ,
the king '
s sons came ,
and lifted up their voice ,
and wept :
and the king also and all his servants wept very sore .

2Samuel:13:37 @
But Absalom fled ,
and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur ,
king of Geshur .
And David mourned for his son every day .
asv @
2Samuel:13:38 @
So Absalom fled ,
and went to Geshur ,
and was there three years .
asv @
2Samuel:13:39 @
And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom :
for he was comforted concerning Amnon ,
seeing he was dead .
