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.

Verse 28 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.

Absalom aber gebot seinen Leuten und sprach: Sehet darauf, wenn Amnon guter Dinge wird von dem Wein und ich zu euch spreche: Schlagt Amnon und tötet ihn, daß ihr euch nicht fürchtet; denn ich hab's euch geheißen. Seid getrost und frisch daran!
Y había Absalom dado orden a sus criados, diciendo: Ahora bien, mirad cuando el corazón de Amnón estará alegre del vino, y en diciéndoos yo: Herid a Amnón, entonces matadle, y no temáis; que yo os lo he mandado. Esforzaos pues, y sed valientes.
Absalón les dio esta orden a sus jóvenes: «Estén atentos. Cuando el corazón de Amnón esté alegre por el vino y yo les diga: “¡Ataquen a Amnón!”, mátenlo. No tengan miedo. ¿No soy yo quien se lo ordena? Sean fuertes y valientes».
Absalom donna cet ordre à ses serviteurs: Faites attention quand le coeur d'Amnon sera égayé par le vin et que je vous dirai: Frappez Amnon! Alors tuez-le; ne craignez point, n'est-ce pas moi qui vous l'ordonne? Soyez fermes, et montrez du courage!
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.
E Absalão deu ordem aos seus servos, dizendo: Tomai sentido; quando o coração de Amnom estiver alegre do vinho, e eu vos disser: Feri a Amnom, então o matareis; não temais: porque porventura não sou eu quem vo-lo ordenei? Esforçai-vos, e sede valentes.
