Read in context

2 Samuel 13:23–27 · Berean Standard Bible

23 Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king.

24 And he went to the king and said, “Your servant has just hired shearers. Will the king and his servants please come with me?”

25 “No, my son,” the king replied, “we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing.

26 “If not,” said Absalom, “please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the king asked.

27 But Absalom urged him, so the king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons.
