⁶ So both of them sat down and ate and drank together; and the girl’s father said to the man, “Please ^[a]be so kind as to spend the night, and ^(A)let your heart be cheerful.”

⁹ When the man got up to go, along with his concubine and servant, his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Behold now, the day has drawn ^[a]to a close; please spend the night. Behold, the day is ^[b]coming to an end; spend the night here so that your heart may be cheerful. Then tomorrow you may arise early for your journey and go ^[c]home.”

²⁸ Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “See now, ^(A)when Amnon’s heart is cheerful with wine, and I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then put him to death. Do not fear; have I not commanded you myself? Be courageous and be ^[a]valiant.”

⁷ Jezebel his wife said to him, “^(A)Do you now ^[a]reign over Israel? Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be joyful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
