Nevertheless Absalom urged him, so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
Then Absalom said, “If not, please have my brother Amnon go with us.” But the king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “See now, when Amnon’s heart is cheerful with wine, and I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then put him to death. Do not fear; have I not commanded you myself? Be courageous and be valiant.”
