2 Samuel 13:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ But Absalom begged him. So the king sent Amnon with him. He also sent the rest of his sons.

²⁸ Absalom ordered his men, “Listen! When Amnon has had too much wine to drink, I’ll say to you, ‘Strike Amnon down.’ When I do, kill him. Don’t be afraid. I’ve given you an order, haven’t I? Be strong and brave.” ²⁹ So Absalom’s men killed Amnon, just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got on their mules and rode away.
