2 Samuel 13:25-27

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁵ The king replied to Absalom, ‘No, my son, we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.’ Although Absalom urged him, he wasn’t willing to go, though he did bless him.

²⁶ ‘If not,’ Absalom said, ‘please let my brother Amnon go with us.’

The king asked him, ‘Why should he go with you? ’ ²⁷ But Absalom urged him, so he sent Amnon and all the king’s sons.^[a]
