Bible Comments

When Amnon's heart is merry with wine; when he least suspects, and will be most unable to prevent the evil. Have not I commanded you; I who am the king's son, and, when Amnon is gone, his heir; who therefore shall easily obtain pardon for you, and will liberally reward you?

2 Samuel 13:28

28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
