Genesis 25:27-34
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a civilized man, living in tents.Now Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for game; but Rebekah loved Jacob.When Jacob had cooked a stew one day, Esau came in from the field and he was exhausted;and Esau said to Jacob,“ Please let me have a mouthful of that red stuff there, for I am exhausted.” Therefore he was called Edom by name.But Jacob said,“ First sell me your birthright.”Esau said,“ Look, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?”And Jacob said,“ First swear to me”; so he swore an oath to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and got up and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

Now it came about after two full years that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king’s sons to celebrate.And Absalom came to the king and said,“ Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; may the king and his servants please go with your servant.”But the king said to Absalom,“ No, my son, we should not all go, so that we will not be a burden to you.” Though he urged him, he would not go; but he blessed him.Then Absalom said,“ If not, please have my brother Amnon go with us.” But the king said to him,“ Why should he go with you?”Nevertheless Absalom urged him, so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying,“ See now, 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 valiant.”And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon just as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons got up and each mounted his mule and fled.
