2 Samuel 13:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ “No, my son,” the king replied. “All of us shouldn’t go. It would be too much trouble for you.” Although Absalom begged him, the king still refused to go. But he gave Absalom his blessing.

²⁶ Then Absalom said, “If you won’t come, please let my brother Amnon come with us.”

The king asked him, “Why should he go with you?” ²⁷ But Absalom begged him. So the king sent Amnon with him. He also sent the rest of his sons.
