²⁶“If not,” said Absalom, “please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the king asked.

²⁷But Absalom urged him, so the king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons.

²⁸Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!”

²⁹So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule.

³⁰While they were on the way, a report reached David: “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king; not one of them is left!”
