2 Samuel 13:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:24

And Absalom came to the king
At Jerusalem, to invite him in person:

and said, behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers;
persons employed in shearing his sheep: and this being a time of entertainment and joy,

2 Samuel 13:24 In-Context

22 Absalom ne parla ni en bien ni en mal avec Amnon; mais il le prit en haine, parce qu'il avait déshonoré Tamar, sa soeur.
23 Deux ans après, comme Absalom avait les tondeurs à Baal-Hatsor, près d'Ephraïm, il invita tous les fils du roi.
24 Absalom alla vers le roi, et dit: Voici, ton serviteur a les tondeurs; que le roi et ses serviteurs viennent chez ton serviteur.
25 Et le roi dit à Absalom: Non, mon fils, nous n'irons pas tous, de peur que nous ne te soyons à charge. Absalom le pressa; mais le roi ne voulut point aller, et il le bénit.
26 Absalom dit: Permets du moins à Amnon, mon frère, de venir avec nous. Le roi lui répondit: Pourquoi irait-il chez toi?
