Chapter 13
24And Absalom came to the king and said, 'Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; may the king and his servants please go with your servant.' 25But the king said to Absalom, 'No, my son, we should not all go, so that we will not be a burden to you.' Though he urged him, he would not go; but he blessed him. 26Then Absalom said, 'If not, please have my brother Amnon go with us.' But the king said to him, 'Why should he go with you?' 27Nevertheless Absalom urged him, so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.King James Version
Chapter 13
24And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. 25And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. 26Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee? 27But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.Christian Standard Bible
