2 Samuel 13:1-29

And it came to pass after
<0310>

this, that Absalom
<053>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

had a fair
<03303>

sister
<0269>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Tamar
<08559>_;

and Amnon
<0550>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

loved
<0157> (8799)

her.

And Amnon
<0550>

was so vexed
<03334> (8799)_,

that he fell sick
<02470> (8692)

for his sister
<0269>

Tamar
<08559>_;

for she [was] a virgin
<01330>_;

and Amnon
<0550>

thought
<05869>

it hard
<06381> (8735)

for him to do
<06213> (8800)

any thing
<03972>

to her. {Amnon thought...: Heb. it was marvellous, or, hidden in the eyes of Amnon}

But Amnon
<0550>

had a friend
<07453>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Jonadab
<03122>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shimeah
<08093>

David's
<01732>

brother
<0251>_:

and Jonadab
<03122>

[was] a very
<03966>

subtil
<02450>

man
<0376>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why [art] thou, [being] the king's
<04428>

son
<01121>_,

lean
<01800>

from day
<01242>

to day
<01242>_?

wilt thou not tell
<05046> (8686)

me? And Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I love
<0157> (8802)

Tamar
<08559>_,

my brother
<0251>

Absalom's
<053>

sister
<0269>_.

{lean: Heb. thin} {from day...: Heb. morning by morning}

And Jonadab
<03082>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Lay thee down
<07901> (8798)

on thy bed
<04904>_,

and make thyself sick
<02470> (8690)_:

and when thy father
<01>

cometh
<0935> (8804)

to see
<07200> (8800)

thee, say
<0559> (8804)

unto him, I pray thee, let my sister
<0269>

Tamar
<08559>

come
<0935> (8799)_,

and give
<01262> (8686)

me meat
<03899>_,

and dress
<06213> (8804)

the meat
<01279>

in my sight
<05869>_,

that I may see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and eat
<0398> (8804)

[it] at her hand
<03027>_.

So Amnon
<0550>

lay down
<07901> (8799)_,

and made himself sick
<02470> (8691)_:

and when the king
<04428>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8800)

him, Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

I pray thee, let Tamar
<08559>

my sister
<0269>

come
<0935> (8799)_,

and make
<03823> (8762)

me a couple
<08147>

of cakes
<03834>

in my sight
<05869>_,

that I may eat
<01262> (8799)

at her hand
<03027>_.

Then David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

home
<01004>

to Tamar
<08559>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

now to thy brother
<0251>

Amnon's
<0550>

house
<01004>_,

and dress
<06213> (8798)

him meat
<01279>_.

So Tamar
<08559>

went
<03212> (8799)

to her brother
<0251>

Amnon's
<0550>

house
<01004>_;

and he was laid down
<07901> (8802)_.

And she took
<03947> (8799)

flour
<01217>_,

and kneaded
<03888> (8799)

[it], and made cakes
<03823> (8762)

in his sight
<05869>_,

and did bake
<01310> (8762)

the cakes
<03834>_.

{flour: or, paste}

And she took
<03947> (8799)

a pan
<04958>_,

and poured [them] out
<03332> (8799)

before
<06440>

him; but he refused
<03985> (8762)

to eat
<0398> (8800)_.

And Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Have out
<03318> (8685)

all men
<0376>

from me. And they went out
<03318> (8799)

every man
<0376>

from him.

And Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Tamar
<08559>_,

Bring
<0935> (8685)

the meat
<01279>

into the chamber
<02315>_,

that I may eat
<01262> (8799)

of thine hand
<03027>_.

And Tamar
<08559>

took
<03947> (8799)

the cakes
<03834>

which she had made
<06213> (8804)_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

[them] into the chamber
<02315>

to Amnon
<0550>

her brother
<0251>_.

And when she had brought
<05066> (8686)

[them] unto him to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

he took hold
<02388> (8686)

of her, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Come
<0935> (8798)

lie
<07901> (8798)

with me, my sister
<0269>_.

And she answered
<0559> (8799)

him, Nay, my brother
<0251>_,

do not force
<06031> (8762)

me; for no such thing ought
<03651>

to be done
<06213> (8735)

in Israel
<03478>_:

do
<06213> (8799)

not thou this folly
<05039>_.

{force...: Heb. humble me} {no such...: Heb. it ought not so to be done}

And I, whither shall I cause my shame
<02781>

to go
<03212> (8686)_?

and as for thee, thou shalt be as one
<0259>

of the fools
<05036>

in Israel
<03478>_.

Now therefore, I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the king
<04428>_;

for he will not withhold
<04513> (8799)

me from thee.

Howbeit he would
<014> (8804)

not hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto her voice
<06963>_:

but, being stronger
<02388> (8799)

than she, forced
<06031> (8762)

her, and lay
<07901> (8799)

with her.

Then Amnon
<0550>

hated
<08130> (8799)

her exceedingly
<03966> <01419>_;

so that the hatred
<08135>

wherewith he hated
<08130> (8804)

her [was] greater
<01419>

than the love
<0160>

wherewith he had loved
<0157> (8804)

her. And Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

be gone
<03212> (8798)_.

{exceedingly: Heb. with great hatred greatly}

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [There is] no cause
<0182>_:

this evil
<07451>

in sending me away
<07971> (8763)

[is] greater
<01419>

than the other
<0312>

that thou didst
<06213> (8804)

unto me. But he would
<014> (8804)

not hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto her.

Then he called
<07121> (8799)

his servant
<05288>

that ministered
<08334> (8764)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Put
<07971> (8798)

now this [woman] out
<02351>

from me, and bolt
<05274> (8798)

the door
<01817>

after
<0310>

her.

And [she had] a garment
<03801>

of divers colours
<06446>

upon her: for with such robes
<04598>

were the king's
<04428>

daughters
<01323>

[that were] virgins
<01330>

apparelled
<03847> (8799)_.

Then his servant
<08334> (8764)

brought
<03318> (8686)

her out
<02351>_,

and bolted
<05274> (8804)

the door
<01817>

after
<0310>

her.

And Tamar
<08559>

put
<03947> (8799)

ashes
<0665>

on her head
<07218>_,

and rent
<07167> (8804)

her garment
<03801>

of divers colours
<06446>

that [was] on her, and laid
<07760> (8799)

her hand
<03027>

on her head
<07218>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

on
<01980> (8800)

crying
<02199> (8804)_.

And Absalom
<053>

her brother
<0251>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Hath Amnon
<0550>

thy brother
<0251>

been with thee? but hold now thy peace
<02790> (8685)_,

my sister
<0269>_:

he [is] thy brother
<0251>_;

regard
<07896> (8799) <03820>

not this thing
<01697>_.

So Tamar
<08559>

remained
<03427> (8799)

desolate
<08074> (8802)

in her brother
<0251>

Absalom's
<053>

house
<01004>_.

{Amnon: Heb. Aminon} {regard...: Heb. set not thy heart} {desolate: Heb. and desolate}

But when king
<04428>

David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8804)

of all these things
<01697>_,

he was very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)_.

And Absalom
<053>

spake
<01696> (8765)

unto his brother Amnon
<0550>

neither good
<02896>

nor bad
<07451>_:

for Absalom
<053>

hated
<08130> (8804)

Amnon
<0550>_,

because
<01697>

he had forced
<06031> (8765)

his sister
<0269>

Tamar
<08559>_.

And it came to pass after two full
<03117>

years
<08141>_,

that Absalom
<053>

had sheepshearers
<01494> (8802)

in Baalhazor
<01178>_,

which [is] beside Ephraim
<0669>_:

and Absalom
<053>

invited
<07121> (8799)

all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_.

And Absalom
<053>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, thy servant
<05650>

hath sheepshearers
<01494> (8802)_;

let
<03212> (0)

the king
<04428>_,

I beseech thee, and his servants
<05650>

go
<03212> (8799)

with thy servant
<05650>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Absalom
<053>_,

Nay, my son
<01121>_,

let us not all now go
<03212> (8799)_,

lest we be chargeable
<03513> (8799)

unto thee. And he pressed
<06555> (8799)

him: howbeit he would
<014> (8804)

not go
<03212> (8800)_,

but blessed
<01288> (8762)

him.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Absalom
<053>_,

If not, I pray thee, let my brother
<0251>

Amnon
<0550>

go
<03212> (8799)

with us. And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why should he go
<03212> (8799)

with thee?

But Absalom
<053>

pressed
<06555> (8799)

him, that he let Amnon
<0550>

and all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

go
<07971> (8799)

with him.

Now Absalom
<053>

had commanded
<06680> (8762)

his servants
<05288>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Mark
<07200> (8798)

ye now when Amnon's
<0550>

heart
<03820>

is merry
<02896>

with wine
<03196>_,

and when I say
<0559> (8804)

unto you, Smite
<05221> (8685)

Amnon
<0550>_;

then kill
<04191> (8689)

him, fear
<03372> (8799)

not: have not I commanded
<06680> (8765)

you? be courageous
<02388> (8798)_,

and be valiant
<01121> <02428>_.

{have...: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?} {valiant: Heb. sons of valour}

And the servants
<05288>

of Absalom
<053>

did
<06213> (8799)

unto Amnon
<0550>

as Absalom
<053>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

Then all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and every man
<0376>

gat him up
<07392> (8799)

upon his mule
<06505>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_.

{gat...: Heb. rode}
