SCRIPTURE
"Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?" — 2 Samuel 13:26 (ASV)
He mentions Amnon as being the king’s firstborn. If he could not have the king’s company, let him at least have that of the heir apparent and the king’s other sons.
