2 Samuel 13:22-29

[22] And Absalom  spake  unto his brother Amnon  neither good  nor bad:  for Absalom  hated  Amnon,  because  he had forced  his sister  Tamar.  [23] And it came to pass after two full  years,  that Absalom  had sheepshearers  in Baalhazor,  which is beside Ephraim:  and Absalom  invited  all the king's  sons.  [24] And Absalom  came  to the king,  and said,  Behold now, thy servant  hath sheepshearers;  the king,  I beseech thee, and his servants  [25] And the king  said  to Absalom,  Nay, my son,  lest we be chargeable  unto thee. And he pressed  him: howbeit he would  but blessed  him. [26] Then said  Absalom,  If not, I pray thee, let my brother  Amnon  with us. And the king  said  with thee? [27] But Absalom  pressed  him, that he let Amnon  and all the king's  sons  go  with him. [28] Now Absalom  had commanded  his servants,  saying,  Mark  ye now when Amnon's  heart  is merry  with wine,  and when I say  unto you, Smite  Amnon;  then kill  him, fear  not: have not I commanded  you? be courageous,  and be valiant.  [29] And the servants  of Absalom  did  unto Amnon  as Absalom  had commanded.  Then all the king's  sons  arose,  and every man  gat him up  upon his mule,  and fled.
