2 Samuel 13:23-39 - Absalom Has Amnon Put To Death

23 And it will be for two years of days, and shearers will be to Absalom in Baal-Hazor, which is with Ephraim: and Absalom will call for all the king's sons. 24 And Absalom will come to the king and say, Behold now, shearers to thy servant: now will the king go, and his servants, with thy servant?

25 And the king will say to Absalom, No, my son, not now will we all go, and we will not be heavy upon thee. And he will press upon him, and he would not go, and he will bless him.

26 And Absalom will say, And shall not Amnon my brother now go with us? And the king will say to him, Wherefore shall he go with thee? 27 And Absalom will press upon him, and he will send with him Amnon and all the king's sons.

28 And Absalom will command his boys, saying, See now, when the heart of Amnon is good with wine, and I said to you, Strike Amnon; and kill him; ye shall not be afraid, for I commanded you: be strong and be for sons of strength. 29 And Absalom's boys will do to Amnon as Absalom commanded. And all the king's sons will rise up and ride each upon his mule and flee.

30 And it will be they in the way, and the report came to David saying, Absalom struck all the king's sons and not one remaining of them. 31 And the king will rise and rend his garments, and will lie down upon the earth; and all his servants standing by with their garments rent.

32 And Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David's brother, will answer and say, My lord shall not say, All the boys, the king's sons, were slain; for Amnon alone died; for by the mouth of Absalom it was set from the day he humbled Tamar his sister. 33 And now my lord the king shall not set to his heart the word, saying, All the king's sons died; for only Amnon alone died.

34 And Absalom will flee. And the boy watching will lift up his eyes and see, and behold, much people coming from the way behind him from the side of the mountain. 35 And Jonadab will say to the king, Behold, the king's sons came; as thy servant spake, so it was. 36 And it will be as he finished to speak, and behold, the king's sons came, and they will lift up their voice and weep: and the king and all his servants wept a very great weeping.

37 And Absalom fled and went to Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And he will mourn for his son all the days. 38 And Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and he will be there three years. 39 And David the king was fixed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted for Amnon, for he died.
