And Amnon{H550} said{H559} unto him, I love{H157} Tamar,{H8559} my brother{H251} Absalom's{H53} sister.{H269} 5 And Jonadab{H3082} said{H559} unto him, Lay thee down{H7901} on thy bed,{H4904} and feign thyself sick:{H2470} and when thy father{H1} cometh{H935} to see{H7200} thee, say{H559} unto him, Let my sister{H269} Tamar{H8559} come,{H935} I pray thee, and give{H1262} me bread{H3899} to eat, and dress{H6213} the food{H3899} in my sight,{H5869} that I may see{H7200} it, and eat{H398} it from her hand.{H3027} 6 So Amnon{H550} lay down,{H7901} and feigned himself sick:{H2470} and when the king{H4428} was come{H935} to see{H7200} him, Amnon{H550} said{H559} unto the king,{H4428} Let her sister{H269} Tamar{H8559} come,{H935} I pray thee, and make{H3823} me a couple{H8147} of cakes{H3834} in my sight,{H5869} that I may eat{H1262} from her hand.{H3027} 7 Then David{H1732} sent{H7971} home{H1004} to Tamar,{H8559} saying,{H559} Go{H3212} now to thy brother{H251} Amnon's{H550} house,{H1004} and dress{H6213} him food.{H1279} 8 So Tamar{H8559} went{H3212} to her brother{H251} Amnon's{H550} house;{H1004} and he was laid down.{H7901} And she took{H3947} dough,{H1217} and kneaded{H3888} it, and made cakes{H3823} in his sight,{H5869} and did bake{H1310} the cakes.{H3834} 9 And she took{H3947} the pan,{H4958} and poured them out{H3332} before{H6440} him; but he refused{H3985} to eat.{H398} And Amnon{H550} said,{H559} Have out{H3318} all men{H376} from me. And they went out{H3318} every man{H376} from him. 10 And Amnon{H550} said{H559} unto Tamar,{H8559} Bring{H935} the food{H1279} into the chamber,{H2315} that I may eat{H1262} from thy hand.{H3027} And Tamar{H8559} took{H3947} the cakes{H3834} which she had made,{H6213} and brought{H935} them into the chamber{H2315} to Amnon{H550} her brother.{H251} 11 And when she had brought{H5066} them near unto him to eat,{H398} he took hold{H2388} of her, and said{H559} unto her, Come,{H935} lie{H7901} with me, my sister.{H269} 12 And she answered{H559} him, Nay, my brother,{H251} do not force{H6031} me; for no such thing ought{H3651} to be done{H6213} in Israel:{H3478} do{H6213} not thou this folly.{H5039} 13 And I, whither shall I carry{H3212} my shame?{H2781} and as for thee, thou wilt be as one{H259} of the fools{H5036} in Israel.{H3478} Now therefore, I pray thee, speak{H1696} unto the king;{H4428} for he will not withhold{H4513} me from thee. 14 Howbeit he would{H14} not hearken{H8085} unto her voice;{H6963} but being stronger{H2388} than she, he forced{H6031} her, and lay{H7901} with her. 15 Then Amnon{H550} hated{H8130} her with exceeding great hatred;{H8135} for the hatred{H8135} wherewith he hated{H8130} her was greater{H1419} than the love{H160} wherewith he had loved{H160} her. And Amnon{H550} said{H559} unto her, Arise,{H6965} be gone.{H3212} 16 And she said{H559} unto him, Not so, because{H182} this great wrong{H7451} in putting me forth{H7971} is [worse]{H1419} than the other{H312} that thou didst{H6213} unto me. But he would{H14} not hearken{H8085} unto her. 17 Then he called{H7121} his servant{H5288} that ministered{H8334} unto him, and said,{H559} Put{H7971} now this woman out{H2351} from me, and bolt{H5274} the door{H1817} after{H310} her. 18 And she had a garment{H3801} of divers colors{H6446} upon her; for with such robes{H4598} were the king's{H4428} daughters{H1323} that were virgins{H1330} apparelled.{H3847} Then his servant{H8334} brought{H3318} her out,{H2351} and bolted{H5274} the door{H1817} after{H310} her. 19 And Tamar{H8559} put{H3947} ashes{H665} on her head,{H7218} and rent{H7167} her garment{H3801} of divers colors{H6446} that was on her; and she laid{H7760} her hand{H3027} on{H1980} her head,{H7218} and went{H3212} her way, crying{H2199} aloud as she went. 20 And Absalom{H53} her brother{H251} said{H559} unto her, Hath Amnon{H550} thy brother{H251} been with thee? but now hold thy peace,{H2790} my sister:{H269} he is thy brother;{H251} take{H7896} not this thing{H1697} to heart. So Tamar{H8559} remained{H3427} desolate{H8074} in her brother{H251} Absalom's{H53} house.{H1004} 21 But when king{H4428} David{H1732} heard{H8085} of all these things,{H1697} he was very{H3966} wroth.{H2734} 22 And Absalom{H53} spake{H1696} unto Amnon{H550} neither good{H2896} nor bad;{H7451} for Absalom{H53} hated{H8130} Amnon,{H550} because{H1697} he had forced{H6031} his sister{H269} Tamar.{H8559}
