And it came to pass afterH310 this, that AbsalomH53 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 had a fairH3303 sisterH269, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559; and AmnonH550 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 lovedH157 her.
And AmnonH550 was so vexedH3334, that he fell sickH2470 for his sisterH269 TamarH8559; for she was a virginH1330; and AmnonH550 thoughtH5869 it hardH6381 for him to doH6213 any thingH3972 to her. {Amnon thought…: Heb. it was marvellous, or, hidden in the eyes of Amnon}
But AmnonH550 had a friendH7453, whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 David'sH1732 brotherH251: and JonadabH3122 was a veryH3966 subtilH2450 manH376.
And he saidH559 unto him, Why art thou, being the king'sH4428 sonH1121, leanH1800 from dayH1242 to dayH1242? wilt thou not tellH5046 me? And AmnonH550 saidH559 unto him, I loveH157 TamarH8559, my brotherH251 Absalom'sH53 sisterH269. {lean: Heb. thin} {from day…: Heb. morning by morning}
And JonadabH3082 saidH559 unto him, Lay thee downH7901 on thy bedH4904, and make thyself sickH2470: and when thy fatherH1 comethH935 to seeH7200 thee, sayH559 unto him, I pray thee, let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935, and giveH1262 me meatH3899, and dressH6213 the meatH1279 in my sightH5869, that I may seeH7200 it, and eatH398 it at her handH3027.
So AmnonH550 lay downH7901, and made himself sickH2470: and when the kingH4428 was comeH935 to seeH7200 him, AmnonH550 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, I pray thee, let TamarH8559 my sisterH269 comeH935, and makeH3823 me a coupleH8147 of cakesH3834 in my sightH5869, that I may eatH1262 at her handH3027.
Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 homeH1004 to TamarH8559, sayingH559, GoH3212 now to thy brotherH251 Amnon'sH550 houseH1004, and dressH6213 him meatH1279.
So TamarH8559 wentH3212 to her brotherH251 Amnon'sH550 houseH1004; and he was laid downH7901. And she tookH3947 flourH1217, and kneadedH3888 it, and made cakesH3823 in his sightH5869, and did bakeH1310 the cakesH3834. {flour: or, paste}
And she tookH3947 a panH4958, and poured them outH3332 beforeH6440 him; but he refusedH3985 to eatH398. And AmnonH550 saidH559, Have outH3318 all menH376 from me. And they went outH3318 every manH376 from him.
And AmnonH550 saidH559 unto TamarH8559, BringH935 the meatH1279 into the chamberH2315, that I may eatH1262 of thine handH3027. And TamarH8559 tookH3947 the cakesH3834 which she had madeH6213, and broughtH935 them into the chamberH2315 to AmnonH550 her brotherH251.
And when she had broughtH5066 them unto him to eatH398, he took holdH2388 of her, and saidH559 unto her, ComeH935 lieH7901 with me, my sisterH269.
And she answeredH559 him, Nay, my brotherH251, do not forceH6031 me; for no such thing oughtH3651 to be doneH6213 in IsraelH3478: doH6213 not thou this follyH5039. {force…: Heb. humble me} {no such…: Heb. it ought not so to be done}
And I, whither shall I cause my shameH2781 to goH3212? and as for thee, thou shalt be as oneH259 of the foolsH5036 in IsraelH3478. Now therefore, I pray thee, speakH1696 unto the kingH4428; for he will not withholdH4513 me from thee.
Howbeit he wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto her voiceH6963: but, being strongerH2388 than she, forcedH6031 her, and layH7901 with her.
Then AmnonH550 hatedH8130 her exceedinglyH3966+H1419; so that the hatredH8135 wherewith he hatedH8130 her was greaterH1419 than the loveH160 wherewith he had lovedH157 her. And AmnonH550 saidH559 unto her, AriseH6965, be goneH3212. {exceedingly: Heb. with great hatred greatly}
And she saidH559 unto him, There is no causeH182: this evilH7451 in sending me awayH7971 is greaterH1419 than the otherH312 that thou didstH6213 unto me. But he wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto her.
Then he calledH7121 his servantH5288 that ministeredH8334 unto him, and saidH559, PutH7971 now this woman outH2351 from me, and boltH5274 the doorH1817 afterH310 her.
And she had a garmentH3801 of divers coloursH6446 upon her: for with such robesH4598 were the king'sH4428 daughtersH1323 that were virginsH1330 apparelledH3847. Then his servantH8334 broughtH3318 her outH2351, and boltedH5274 the doorH1817 afterH310 her.
And TamarH8559 putH3947 ashesH665 on her headH7218, and rentH7167 her garmentH3801 of divers coloursH6446 that was on her, and laidH7760 her handH3027 on her headH7218, and wentH3212 onH1980 cryingH2199.
And AbsalomH53 her brotherH251 saidH559 unto her, Hath AmnonH550 thy brotherH251 been with thee? but hold now thy peaceH2790, my sisterH269: he is thy brotherH251; regardH7896+H3820 not this thingH1697. So TamarH8559 remainedH3427 desolateH8074 in her brotherH251 Absalom'sH53 houseH1004. {Amnon: Heb. Aminon} {regard…: Heb. set not thy heart} {desolate: Heb. and desolate}
But when kingH4428 DavidH1732 heardH8085 of all these thingsH1697, he was veryH3966 wrothH2734.
And AbsalomH53 spakeH1696 unto his brother AmnonH550 neither goodH2896 nor badH7451: for AbsalomH53 hatedH8130 AmnonH550, becauseH1697 he had forcedH6031 his sisterH269 TamarH8559.
