2 Samuel 13:27-29

International Standard Version

²⁷ But Absalom kept begging David^[a] until he sent Amnon and all of David’s^[b] sons to accompany Absalom.

²⁸ Then Absalom instructed his young men, “Please keep watching Amnon until he’s drunk. Then I’ll tell you, ‘Attack Amnon!’ As soon as I do, kill him and don’t be afraid! You have your orders, so be strong and brave!” ²⁹ So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as they had been^[c] ordered, but the rest of David’s sons jumped up, mounted their mules, and escaped.
