2 Samuel 13:24-26

World English Bible

²⁴ Absalom came to the king, and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”

²⁵ The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.

²⁶ Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.”

The king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
