"But when Absalom pressed him, he sent Amnon and all the king’s sons along with him."
— 2 Samuel 13:27, NET Bible
“But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.”
“But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. ”
“But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.”
“But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Ammon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.”
“But Absalom went on requesting him till he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a great feast like a feast for a king.”
“But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.”
Then Absalom went to the king and said,“My shearers have begun their work. Let the king and his servants go with me.”
But the king said to Absalom,“No, my son. We shouldn’t all go. We shouldn’t burden you in that way.” Though Absalom pressed him, the king was not willing to go. Instead, David blessed him.
Then Absalom said,“If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king replied to him,“Why should he go with you?”
But when Absalom pressed him, he sent Amnon and all the king’s sons along with him.
Absalom instructed his servants,“Look! When Amnon is drunk and I say to you,‘Strike Amnon down,’ kill him then and there. Don’t fear! Is it not I who have given you these instructions? Be strong and courageous!”
So Absalom’s servants did to Amnon exactly what Absalom had instructed. Then all the king’s sons got up; each one rode away on his mule and fled.
While they were still on their way, the following report reached David:“Absalom has killed all the king’s sons; not one of them is left!”
