24 Absalom alla vers le roi, et dit: Voici, ton serviteur a les tondeurs; que le roi et ses serviteurs viennent chez ton serviteur.

25 Et le roi dit à Absalom: Non, mon fils, nous n’irons pas tous, de peur que nous ne te soyons à charge. Absalom le pressa; mais le roi ne voulut point aller, et il le bénit.

26 Absalom dit: Permets du moins à Amnon, mon frère, de venir avec nous. Le roi lui répondit: Pourquoi irait-il chez toi?

27 Sur les instances d’Absalom, le roi laissa aller avec lui Amnon et tous ses fils.

28 Absalom donna cet ordre à ses serviteurs: Faites attention quand le cœur d’Amnon sera égayé par le vin et que je vous dirai: Frappez Amnon! Alors tuez-le; ne craignez point, n’est-ce pas moi qui vous l’ordonne? Soyez fermes, et montrez du courage!
