2 Samuel 13:23-29

Two full years later, the sheepshearers of Absalom were in Baal Hazor, near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all of the sons of the king. Then Absalom came to the king and said, “Behold, your servant has sheepshearers; will the king and his servants kindly go with your servant?” The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, we must not all go or we will be a burden to you.” When he urged him, he refused to go, but gave him his blessing. Absalom said, “If not, allow my brother Amnon to go with us.” But the king replied to him, “Why should he go with you?” But Absalom urged him until he sent Amnon and all of the king’s sons along with him. Now, Absalom had commanded his servant, “Look for Amnon to become carefree on account of the wine. Then I will say to you, ‘Strike Amnon, and kill him.’ Do not be afraid, for am not I myself commanding you? Be strong and brave.” So, the servants of Absalom did to Amnon that which Absalom had commanded. Then the sons of the king arose, each mounting his mule, and fled.
