2 Samuel 13:23-39

And it came to pass after two full
<03117>
years
<08141>_,
that Absalom
<053>
had sheepshearers
<01494> (8802)
in Baalhazor
<01178>_,
which [is] beside Ephraim
<0669>_:
and Absalom
<053>
invited
<07121> (8799)
all the king's
<04428>
sons
<01121>_.
And Absalom
<053>
came
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold now, thy servant
<05650>
hath sheepshearers
<01494> (8802)_;
let
<03212> (0)
the king
<04428>_,
I beseech thee, and his servants
<05650>
go
<03212> (8799)
with thy servant
<05650>_.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Absalom
<053>_,
Nay, my son
<01121>_,
let us not all now go
<03212> (8799)_,
lest we be chargeable
<03513> (8799)
unto thee. And he pressed
<06555> (8799)
him: howbeit he would
<014> (8804)
not go
<03212> (8800)_,
but blessed
<01288> (8762)
him.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Absalom
<053>_,
If not, I pray thee, let my brother
<0251>
Amnon
<0550>
go
<03212> (8799)
with us. And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Why should he go
<03212> (8799)
with thee?
But Absalom
<053>
pressed
<06555> (8799)
him, that he let Amnon
<0550>
and all the king's
<04428>
sons
<01121>
go
<07971> (8799)
with him.
Now Absalom
<053>
had commanded
<06680> (8762)
his servants
<05288>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Mark
<07200> (8798)
ye now when Amnon's
<0550>
heart
<03820>
is merry
<02896>
with wine
<03196>_,
and when I say
<0559> (8804)
unto you, Smite
<05221> (8685)
Amnon
<0550>_;
then kill
<04191> (8689)
him, fear
<03372> (8799)
not: have not I commanded
<06680> (8765)
you? be courageous
<02388> (8798)_,
and be valiant
<01121> <02428>_.
{have...: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?} {valiant: Heb. sons of valour}
And the servants
<05288>
of Absalom
<053>
did
<06213> (8799)
unto Amnon
<0550>
as Absalom
<053>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
Then all the king's
<04428>
sons
<01121>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and every man
<0376>
gat him up
<07392> (8799)
upon his mule
<06505>_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)_.
{gat...: Heb. rode}
And it came to pass, while they were in the way
<01870>_,
that tidings
<08052>
came
<0935> (8804)
to David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Absalom
<053>
hath slain
<05221> (8689)
all the king's
<04428>
sons
<01121>_,
and there is not one
<0259>
of them left
<03498> (8738)_.
Then the king
<04428>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and tare
<07167> (8799)
his garments
<0899>_,
and lay
<07901> (8799)
on the earth
<0776>_;
and all his servants
<05650>
stood
<05324> (8737)
by with their clothes
<0899>
rent
<07167> (8803)_.
And Jonadab
<03122>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shimeah
<08093>
David's
<01732>
brother
<0251>_,
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let not my lord
<0113>
suppose
<0559> (8799)
[that] they have slain
<04191> (8689)
all the young men
<05288>
the king's
<04428>
sons
<01121>_;
for Amnon
<0550>
only is dead
<04191> (8804)_:
for by the appointment
<06310>
of Absalom
<053>
this hath been determined
<07760> (8803)
from the day
<03117>
that he forced
<06031> (8763)
his sister
<0269>
Tamar
<08559>_.
{appointment: Heb. mouth} {determined: or, settled}
Now therefore let not my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>
take
<07760> (8799)
the thing
<01697>
to his heart
<03820>_,
to think
<0559> (8800)
that all the king's
<04428>
sons
<01121>
are dead
<04191> (8804)_:
for Amnon
<0550>
only is dead
<04191> (8804)_.
But Absalom
<053>
fled
<01272> (8799)_.
And the young man
<05288>
that kept the watch
<06822> (8802)
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, there came
<01980> (8802)
much
<07227>
people
<05971>
by the way
<01870>
of the hill
<02022>
side
<06654>
behind
<0310>
him.
And Jonadab
<03122>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>_,
Behold, the king's
<04428>
sons
<01121>
come
<0935> (8804)_:
as thy servant
<05650>
said
<01697>_,
so it is. {as thy...: Heb. according to the word of thy servant}
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of speaking
<01696> (8763)_,
that, behold, the king's
<04428>
sons
<01121>
came
<0935> (8804)_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their voice
<06963>
and wept
<01058> (8799)_:
and the king
<04428>
also and all his servants
<05650>
wept
<01058> (8804)
very
<03966>
sore
<01065> <01419>_.
{very...: Heb. with a great weeping greatly}
But Absalom
<053>
fled
<01272> (8804)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Talmai
<08526>_,
the son
<01121>
of Ammihud
<05991> (8675) <05989>_,
king
<04428>
of Geshur
<01650>_.
And [David] mourned
<056> (8691)
for his son
<01121>
every day
<03117>_.
{Ammihud: or, Ammihur}
So Absalom
<053>
fled
<01272> (8804)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Geshur
<01650>_,
and was there three
<07969>
years
<08141>_.
And [the soul of] king
<04428>
David
<01732>
longed
<03615> (8762)
to go forth
<03318> (8800)
unto Absalom
<053>_:
for he was comforted
<05162> (8738)
concerning Amnon
<0550>_,
seeing he was dead
<04191> (8804)_.
{longed: or, was consumed}
