Verse 22 is found in chapter 13 of 2 Samuel. Absalom waits two years and finally organizes a celebration at which he orders Amnon to be killed. David initially receives false information that all his sons have been killed, but it is later confirmed that only Amnon has died. Absalom’s revenge responds to a real injustice, but it also uses planned violence. The account shows how unresolved family conflict allows violence to reproduce and intensify.

denn Absalom war Amnon gram, darum daß er seine Schwester Thamar geschwächt hatte.

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.
Ed Absalom non parlava con Amnon nè in male, nè in bene; perciocchè egli odiava Amnon, perchè avea violata Tamar, sua sorella.
Porém Absalão não falou com Amnom, nem mal nem bem; porque Absalão odiava a Amnom, por ter forçado a Tamar sua irmã.
