21. Now when King David heard of all these matters, he was very angry.
22. But Absalom did not speak to Amnon either good or bad; for Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.
23. Now it came about after two full years that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
24. Absalom came to the king and said, "Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant."
25. But the king said to Absalom, "No, my son, we should not all go, for we will be burdensome to you." Although he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him.
