2 Samuel 13:26-28

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

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]

²⁸ Now Absalom commanded his young men, ‘Watch Amnon until he is in a good mood from the wine. When I order you to strike Amnon, then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Am I not the one who has commanded you? Be strong and valiant! ’^(A)
