Exegesis
The narrative centers on two Hebrew vav-consecutive verbs: vayiphrats {וַיִּפְרָץ | wayyip̄rāṣ} ‘and he pressed hard’ establishes Absalom’s urgent demand, while vayyishlach {וַיִּשְׁלַח | wayyishlaḥ} ‘and he sent’ marks the king’s subsequent compliance.
The suffixed preposition in bo {בּוֹ | bū} ‘on him’ directly ties the pressure to Amnon, and itto {אִתּוֹ | ʾit-tô} ‘with him’ maintains Amnon as the companion in the sending action.
