    24 Absalom came to the king, and said, "See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant."

    25 The king said to Absalom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.

    26 Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." The king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"
