2 Samuel 13:27 contributes this particular line to the movement: “But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.”.
Read It With
- 2 Samuel 13:23–29
Read 2 Samuel 13:27 with 13:23–29. 2 Samuel 13:27 advances “Absalom Arranges Amnon's Killing” through the concrete textual step “But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.”. The complete unit establishes this movement: After two years Absalom uses a feast and servants to kill Amnon while David's sons flee.
Why It Needs Context
2 Samuel 13:27 depends on 13:23–29; isolating “But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.” would detach a supporting action, quotation, name, number, or transition from “Absalom Arranges Amnon's Killing.”
