Potym po dwu lat strzyżono owce Absalomowe w Baalhazor, które jest w Efraim i prosił do siebie Absalom wszytkich synów królewskich.
I stało się po wyjściu dwóch lat, gdy strzyżono owce Absalomowe w Baalchasor, które jest w Efraim, że wyzwał Absalom wszystkich synów królewskich.
Dwa lata później Absalom urządzał strzyżenie owiec u siebie w Baal-Chasor, na granicy Efraima. Postanowił zaprosić na nie wszystkich synów królewskich.
A po upływie dwóch lat zdarzyło się, że u Absaloma, w Baal Chacor, które leży w pobliżu Efraima, odbywało się strzyżenie owiec; wtedy Absalom zaprosił wszystkich królewiczów.
Po upływie dwóch lat, gdy strzyżono owce Absaloma w Baal-Chasor, które znajduje się w pobliżu Efraim, Absalom zaprosił wszystkich synów króla.
Dwa lata później miało się odbyć u Absaloma strzyżenie owiec w Baal-Chasor, które jest w pobliżu Efraima, i Absalom zaprosił na nie wszystkich synów królewskich.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass after two full years,.... Two complete years after the rape was committed; so long Absalom kept it in his mind, and was contriving how to avenge it; he let it alone so long, that it might be thought by the king and Amnon, and all the family, that it was quite worn out of his mind, and entirely forgotten by him, and therefore might the more safely confide in him:
that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which [is] beside Ephraim; though a prince, the son of a king, he had his flocks, and attended to the care of them, and had shearers to shear them at the proper time of the year, which it now was. The Chinese shear their sheep three times a year, the spring, summer, and autumn; but the first time of shearing yields the best wool g. The place of shearing them was, no doubt, near where they were kept in Baalhazor, in the plain of Hazor, as the Targum, and so some versions; which was a city in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:25; and near to Ephraim; not that it was a city in the tribe of Ephraim, as Josephus says h; but it was near to another city called Ephraim, perhaps the same as in 2 Chronicles 13:19 and in
John 11:54; it lay to the northeast of Jerusalem, as you go to Jericho, and is thought by Reland i to lie between Bethel and Jericho; and, according to Eusebius k, it was eight miles from Jerusalem; though Jerom l, through mistake, says twenty; and both these places, according to Bunting m, were eight miles from Jerusalem; it seems to be the same place that was spoken of in the Misnah n, called Ephraim in the valley, and which is said to be the second place in the land of Israel for fine flour, and might have its name from its fruitfulness:
and Absalom invited all the king's sons; to the sheepshearing: that is, to the feast which was usually made at such times, and still is; see Genesis 38:12.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Sheepshearing was always a time of feasting (marginal references). Baal-hazor is not known.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 13:23. Absalom had sheep-shearers — These were times in which feasts were made, to which the neighbours and relatives of the family were invited.
