2 Samuel 13:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 ¶ And after the time of two years, Absalom had sheepshearers in [a]Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim, and [b]Absalom called all the king’s sons.
24 And Absalom came to the King, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers: I pray thee, that the king with his servants would go with thy servant.
25 But the King answered Absalom, Nay my son, I pray thee, let us not go all, lest we be chargeable unto thee. Yet Absalom lay sore upon him: howbeit he would not go, but [c]thanked him.
