Listen to 2 Samuele 13:28
28 E Absalom diede ordine a’ suoi servitori, dicendo: Deh! guardate quando il cuore di Amnon sarà allegro di vino, e che io vi dirò: Percotetelo; allora ammazzatelo, e non temiate; non sono io quello che ve l’ho comandato? confortatevi, e portatevi da valent’uomini.

2 Samuele 13:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:28

Now Absalom had commanded his servants
Before he and his guests were set down to the entertainment:

saying, mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine;
as he was determined to make him if possible, and as he supposed he would be, knowing his inclination to drink:

and when I say unto you, smite Amnon, then kill him;
smite him that he die, and be sure he is dead before you leave him:

fear not, have not I commanded you?
who am your lord, the king's son, and will then be heir to the crown; fear not, I will protect you; let all the blame be laid to me, if any; I will be answerable for it, you have nothing to do but to obey my commands:

be courageous, and be valiant;
show yourselves to be men of courage and valour, not fearing the king's sons, or any in company, or what will be the consequences of it; do your business effectually, and leave all with me; it is very reasonably supposed that Absalom had not only in view to revenge the rape of his sister, but to get himself next heir to the crown.

2 Samuele 13:28 In-Context

26 E Absalom disse: Se tu non vieni, venga, ti prego, Amnon, mio fratello, con noi. E il re gli disse: Perchè andrebbe egli teco?
27 Ma Absalom gli fece tanta istanza, che egli mandò con lui Amnon, e tutti i figliuoli del re.
28 E Absalom diede ordine a’ suoi servitori, dicendo: Deh! guardate quando il cuore di Amnon sarà allegro di vino, e che io vi dirò: Percotetelo; allora ammazzatelo, e non temiate; non sono io quello che ve l’ho comandato? confortatevi, e portatevi da valent’uomini.
29 E i servitori di Absalom fecero ad Amnon come Absalom avea comandato. E tutti i figliuoli del re si levarono, e montarono ciascuno sopra il suo mulo, e fuggirono.
30 Ora, mentre erano ancora per cammino, il grido venne a Davide, che Absalom avea percossi tutti i figliuoli del re, e che niuno di loro era scampato.
