“Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king.”
2 Samuel 13:23 (BSB)
Context Reading
21When King David heard all this, he was furious. 22And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnon for violating his sister Tamar. 23Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king. 24And he went to the king and said, “Your servant has just hired shearers. Will the king and his servants please come with me?” 25“No, my son,” the king replied, “we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing.
