Genesis 25:27-34
The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.Esau said to Jacob,“ Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.Jacob said,“ First, sell me your birthright.”Esau said,“ Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”Jacob said,“ Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.Absalom came to the king, and said,“ See now, your servant has sheep shearers. 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!”The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up on his mule, and fled.
