Absalom Avenges Tamar

²⁴ Absalom came to the king and said, “Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant.” ²⁵ But the king said to Absalom, “No, my son, we should not all go, for we will be burdensome to you.” Although he ^[a]urged him, he would not go, but blessed him. ²⁶ Then ^(A)Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” And the king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
