26. Absalom said, “If you don’t want to go, then please let my brother Amnon go with me.”King David asked Absalom, “Why should he go with you?”
27. Absalom kept begging David. Finally, David let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with Absalom.
28. Then Absalom gave a command to his servants. He said, “Watch Amnon. When he is drunk, I will tell you, ‘Kill Amnon.’ Right then, kill him! Don’t be afraid. I have commanded you! Be strong and brave!”
29. So Absalom’s young men killed Amnon as Absalom commanded. But all of David’s other sons got on their mules and escaped.
