2 Samuel 13:27-29

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁷ But when Absalom urged him, he let Amnon and all ⌞the rest of⌟ the king’s sons go with him.

²⁸ Then Absalom gave an order to his servants. “Watch now,” he said. “When Amnon begins to feel good from drinking ⌞too much⌟ wine, I’ll tell you, ‘Attack Amnon.’ Then kill him. Don’t be afraid. I’ve given you the order, haven’t I? Be strong and courageous.”

²⁹ Absalom’s servants did to Amnon as Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got up, mounted their mules, and fled.
