2 Samuel 13:25-27

Modern English Version

²⁵ The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, we must not all go or we will be a burden to you.” When he urged him, he refused to go, but gave him his blessing.

²⁶ Absalom said, “If not, allow my brother Amnon to go with us.”

But the king replied to him, “Why should he go with you?” ²⁷ But Absalom urged him until he sent Amnon and all of the king’s sons along with him.
