2 Samuel 13:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ King David said to Absalom, “No, my son. We won’t all go, because it would be too much ·trouble [of a burden] for you.” Although Absalom ·begged [urged; pressed] David, he would not go, but he did give his blessing.

²⁶ Absalom said, “If you don’t want to come, then please let my brother Amnon come with us.”

King David asked, “Why should he go with you?”

²⁷ Absalom kept ·begging [urging; pressing] David until he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with Absalom.
