2 Samuel 13:26-28

New Century Version

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 David until he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with Absalom.

²⁸ Then Absalom instructed his servants, “Watch Amnon. When he is drunk, I will tell you, ‘Kill Amnon.’ Right then, kill him! Don’t be afraid, because I have commanded you! Be strong and brave!”
