    8So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made the cakes in his sight, and baked them.

    9Then she took the pan and placed the cakes before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, 'Send everyone out of here.' So everyone left him.

    10Then Amnon said to Tamar, 'Bring the food into my bedroom, so I may eat it from your hand.' Tamar took the cakes she had made and brought them to her brother Amnon in his bedroom.

    11But when she took them to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, 'Come, lie with me, my sister.'

    12She answered him, 'No, my brother! Don’t force me. Such a thing should not be done in Israel! Don’t do this outrageous thing.'

    13What about me? Where could I get rid of my disgrace? And you would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king; he will not withhold me from you.

    14But he refused to listen to her, and being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.

    15Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, 'Get up and leave!'

    16But she said to him, 'No! Sending me away would be a greater wrong than what you have already done to me.' But he refused to listen to her.

    1After this, Absalom, son of David, had a beautiful sister named Tamar, and Amnon, the son of David, fell in love with her.

    2Amnon was so distressed about his sister Tamar that he made himself sick, for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her.

    3Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd man.

    4Jonadab asked him, 'Why are you, the king's son, so downcast morning after morning? Won't you tell me?' Amnon replied, 'I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.'

    5Jonadab said to him, 'Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, "Please let my sister Tamar come and prepare some food for me here in my sight, so I may watch her and eat it from her hand."'

    6So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so I may eat from her hand.'

    18Now she was wearing a richly ornamented robe, for this was how the virgin daughters of the king dressed in those days. So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her.

    19Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the ornamented robe she was wearing. She put her hand on her head and went away, weeping loudly as she went.

    20Her brother Absalom said to her, 'Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.' And Tamar lived in her brother Absalom's house, desolate.

    21When King David heard all of this, he was furious.

    22Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad; he hated Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar.

    23Two years later, when Absalom's sheep were being sheared at Baal Hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the king’s sons to come.

    24Absalom went to the king and said, 'Your servant has shearers. Will the king and his attendants please join me?'

    26Then Absalom said, 'If not, please let my brother Amnon come with us.' The king asked him, 'Why should he go with you?'

    27But Absalom pressed him, so he sent with him Amnon and the rest of the king's sons.

    28Absalom ordered his servants, saying, 'Watch when Amnon’s heart is cheerful from drinking wine, and when I say to you, "Strike Amnon down," then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I ordered you? Be strong and courageous.’

    29So Absalom’s servants did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons got up, mounted their mules, and fled.

    30While they were on the way, word came to David: 'Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons; not one of them is left.'

    31The king got up, tore his clothes, and lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.

    32But Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David’s brother, said, 'Don’t think that all the king’s sons have been killed. Only Amnon is dead. This has been Absalom’s intention ever since the day Amnon violated his sister Tamar.'

    33Now, my lord the king, don’t take to heart the report that says all the king’s sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead.
