TSK · Esther 2:4

And he said vnto him: How commeth it, that thou being the kinges sonne, art thus consumed from day to day? Wylt thou not tell me? Amnon aunswered him: I loue Thamar my brother Absaloms sister.

And the saying pleased Absalom wel and al the elders of Israel.

If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and so wyll I waye downe ten thousand talents of siluer by the handes of them that haue the charge of this busines, to bring it into the kinges treasurie.

So the last, shalbe the first, & the first shalbe last: For many be called, but fewe be chosen.
