2 Samuel 13:28-30

Expanded Bible

²⁸ Then Absalom instructed his ·servants [^Lmen], “Watch Amnon. When ·he is drunk [he’s in high spirits; ^Lhis heart is merry with wine], I will tell you, ‘·Kill [^LStrike] Amnon.’ Right then, kill him! Don’t be afraid, because I have ·commanded [ordered] you! Be ·strong [courageous] and ·brave [valiant]!” ²⁹ So Absalom’s ·young men [servants] killed Amnon as Absalom ·commanded [ordered], ·but [then] all of David’s other sons got on their mules and ·escaped [fled].

³⁰ While the king’s sons were on their way [^Cback to Jerusalem], the news came to David, “Absalom has ·killed [^Lstruck down] all of the king’s sons! Not one of them is left alive!”
