2 Samuel 13:25-27

Amplified Bible

²⁵ But the king said to Absalom, “No, my son, we should not all go, for we will be a burden to you.” Although Absalom [strongly] urged David, still he would not go, but he gave him his blessing. ²⁶ Then Absalom said, “If not, then at least let my brother ^[a]Amnon go with us.” And the king said to him, “Why should he go with you?” ²⁷ But Absalom urged him [again], and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
