2 Samuel 13:1-20

And it came H1961 to pass after H310 this, H3651 that Absalom H53 the son H1121 of David H1732 had a fair H3303 sister, H269 whose name H8034 was Tamar; H8559 and Amnon H550 the son H1121 of David H1732 loved H157 her.

And Amnon H550 was so vexed, H3334 that he fell sick H2470 for his sister H269 Tamar; H8559 for she was a virgin; H1330 and Amnon H550 thought H5869 it hard H6381 for him to do H6213 anything H3972 to her.

But Amnon H550 had a friend, H7453 whose name H8034 was Jonadab, H3122 the son H1121 of Shimeah H8093 David's H1732 brother: H251 and Jonadab H3122 was a very H3966 subtle H2450 man. H376

And he said H559 to him, Why H4069 are you, being the king's H4428 son, H1121 lean H1800 from day H1242 to day? H1242 will you not tell H5046 me? And Amnon H550 said H559 to him, I love H157 Tamar, H8559 my brother H251 Absalom's H53 sister. H269

And Jonadab H3122 said H559 to him, Lay H7901 you down H7901 on H5921 your bed, H4904 and make yourself sick: H2470 and when your father H1 comes H935 to see H7200 you, say H559 to him, I pray H4994 you, let my sister H269 Tamar H8559 come, H935 and give H1262 me meat, H3899 and dress H6213 the meat H1279 in my sight, H5869 that I may see H7200 it, and eat H398 it at her hand. H3027

So Amnon H550 lay H7901 down, H7901 and made himself sick: H2470 and when the king H4428 was come H935 to see H7200 him, Amnon H550 said H559 to the king, H4428 I pray H4994 you, let Tamar H8559 my sister H269 come, H935 and make H3823 me a couple H8147 of cakes H3834 in my sight, H5869 that I may eat H1262 at her hand. H3027

Then David H1732 sent H7971 home H1004 to Tamar, H8559 saying, H559 Go H3212 now H4994 to your brother H251 Amnon's H550 house, H1004 and dress H6213 him meat. H1279

So Tamar H8559 went H3212 to her brother H251 Amnon's H550 house; H1004 and he was laid H7901 down. H7901 And she took H3947 flour, H1217 and kneaded H3888 it, and made H3835 cakes H3823 in his sight, H5869 and did bake H1310 the cakes. H3834

And she took H3947 a pan, H4958 and poured H3332 them out before H6440 him; but he refused H3985 to eat. H398 And Amnon H550 said, H559 Have H3318 out all H3605 men H376 from me. And they went H3318 out every man H376 from him.

And Amnon H550 said H559 to Tamar, H8559 Bring H935 the meat H1279 into the chamber, H2315 that I may eat H1262 of your hand. H3027 And Tamar H8559 took H3947 the cakes H3834 which H834 she had made, H6213 and brought H935 them into the chamber H2315 to Amnon H550 her brother. H251

And when she had brought H5066 them to him to eat, H398 he took hold H2388 of her, and said H559 to her, Come H935 lie H7901 with me, my sister. H269

And she answered H559 him, No, H408 my brother, H251 do H6213 not force H6031 me; for no H3808 such H3651 thing H3651 ought to be done H6213 in Israel: H3478 do not you this H2063 folly. H5039

And I, where H575 shall I cause my shame H2781 to go? H3212 and as for you, you shall be as one H259 of the fools H5036 in Israel. H3478 Now H6258 therefore, I pray H4994 you, speak H1696 to the king; H4428 for he will not withhold H4513 me from you.

However, he would H14 not listen H8085 to her voice: H6963 but, being stronger H2388 than she, forced H6031 her, and lay H7901 with her.

Then Amnon H550 hated H8130 her exceedingly; H1419 H3966 so that the hatred H8135 with which H834 he hated H8130 her was greater H1419 than the love H160 with which H834 he had loved H157 her. And Amnon H550 said H559 to her, Arise, H6965 be gone. H3212

And she said H559 to him, There is no H408 cause: this H2063 evil H7451 in sending H7971 me away is greater H1419 than the other H312 that you did H6213 to me. But he would H14 not listen H8085 to her.

Then he called H7121 his servant H5288 that ministered H8334 to him, and said, H559 Put H7971 now H4994 this H2063 woman out from me, and bolt H5274 the door H1817 after H310 her.

And she had a garment H3801 of divers H6446 colors H6446 on her: for with such H3651 robes H4598 were the king's H4428 daughters H1323 that were virgins H1330 appareled. H3847 Then his servant H8334 brought H3318 her out, and bolted H5274 the door H1817 after H310 her.

And Tamar H8559 put H3947 ashes H665 on H5921 her head, H7218 and rent H7167 her garment H3801 of divers H6446 colors H6446 that was on H5921 her, and laid H7760 her hand H3027 on H5921 her head, H7218 and went H3212 on crying. H2201

And Absalom H53 her brother H251 said H559 to her, Has Amnon H550 your brother H251 been H1961 with you? but hold H2790 now H6258 your peace, H2790 my sister: H269 he is your brother; H251 regard H3820 not this H2063 thing. H1697 So Tamar H8559 remained H3427 desolate H8076 in her brother H251 Absalom's H53 house. H1004
