2 Samuel 13:23-25

Tree of Life Version

²³ It came about, after two full years, that Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king’s sons. ²⁴ Then Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants come with your servant.”

²⁵ But the king said to Absalom, “No, my son. Let’s not all go—we don’t want to be burdensome to you.” Though he urged him, he would not go, though he blessed him.
