2 Samuel 13:23-25

Easy-to-Read Version

Absalom’s Revenge

²³ Two years later, Absalom had some men come to Baal Hazor to cut the wool from his sheep. He invited all the king’s sons to come and watch. ²⁴ Absalom went to the king and said, “I have some men coming to cut the wool from my sheep. Please come with your servants and watch.”

²⁵ King David said to Absalom, “No, son. We will not all go. It will be too much trouble for you.”

Absalom begged David to go. David did not go, but he did give his blessing.
