2 Samuel 19 4-2 Samuel 19 10
The king covered his face and cried aloud,“ O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”Then Joab went into the house to the king and said,“ Today you have humiliated all your men, who have just saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and the lives of your wives and concubines.You love those who hate you and hate those who love you. You have made it clear today that the commanders and their men mean nothing to you. I see that you would be pleased if Absalom were alive today and all of us were dead.Now go out and encourage your men. I swear by the Lord that if you don’t go out, not a man will be left with you by nightfall. This will be worse for you than all the calamities that have come on you from your youth till now.”So the king got up and took his seat in the gateway. When the men were told,“ The king is sitting in the gateway,” they all came before him. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled to their homes.Throughout the tribes of Israel, all the people were arguing among themselves, saying,“ The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies; he is the one who rescued us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he has fled the country to escape from Absalom;and Absalom, whom we anointed to rule over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?” (niv)

Her brother Absalom said to her,“ Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister; he is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” And Tamar lived in her brother Absalom’s house, a desolate woman.When King David heard all this, he was furious.And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad; he hated Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar.Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal Hazor near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king’s sons to come there.Absalom went to the king and said,“ Your servant has had shearers come. Will the king and his attendants please join me?”“ No, my son,” the king replied.“ All of us should not go; we would only be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he still refused to go but gave him his blessing.Then Absalom said,“ If not, please let my brother Amnon come with us.” The king asked him,“ Why should he go with you?”But Absalom urged him, so he sent with him Amnon and the rest of the king’s sons.Absalom ordered his men,“ Listen! When Amnon is in high spirits from drinking wine and I say to you,‘ Strike Amnon down,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I given you this order? Be strong and brave.” (niv)
