આબ્શાલોમે રાજા પાસે જઈને કહ્યું કે, “હે રાજા જો હવે, તારા દાસ પાસે ઘેટાં કાતરનારાઓ છે. કૃપા કરી, રાજા તથા તેના ચાકરોને તમારા સેવક સાથે આવવાની પરવાનગી આપો.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १३:२४
वह राजा के पास जाकर कहने लगा, “विनती यह है, कि तेरे दास की भेड़ों का ऊन कतरा जाता है, इसलिए राजा अपने कर्मचारियों समेत अपने दास के संग चले।”

In context

22Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

23After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.

24Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”

25The 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.

26Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
