Proverbs 26:24-26

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”The king said to Absalom,“ No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.Then Absalom said,“ If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him,“ Why should he go with you?”But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.Absalom commanded his servants, saying,“ Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you,‘ Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”
