Second Samuel 13:23

And it came to pass, after two years (two years of days), that Absalom had sheep shearing in Baal-Hazor, which is beside Ephraim [two miles north of Jerusalem]. So Absalom invited all the king's sons. [Absalom has a cunning plan to take revenge on Amnon, the goal being to find an opportunity to kill him. Now he had waited two years. Sheep shearing was celebrated as a festive occasion, often with wine, see Gen. 38:12; 1 Sam. 25:2, 8, 36.]
