New King James Version
27 But Absalom urged him; so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, “Watch now, when Amnon’s (A)heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon!’ then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and [a]valiant.” 29 So the servants of Absalom (B)did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and each one got on (C)his mule and fled.
