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.
Now Absalom {H53} had commanded {H6680} his servants {H5288}, saying {H559}, Mark {H7200} ye now when Amnon's {H550} heart {H3820} is merry {H2896} with wine {H3196}, and when I say {H559} unto you, Smite {H5221} Amnon {H550}; then kill {H4191} him, fear {H3372} not: have not I commanded {H6680} you? be courageous {H2388}, and be valiant {H1121}{H2428}.
Avshalom ordered his servants, "Pay close attention: when Amnon is in high spirits from drinking wine, and I say to you, 'Kill Amnon,' then strike him down. Don't be afraid - I'm the one ordering you to do it - but take courage, and be bold."
Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!”
And Absalom 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.
