    1And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

    2And Amnon was so troubled, that he became sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard to do anything to her.

    3But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very cunning man.

    5And Jonadab said to him, Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be sick: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Please let my sister Tamar come, and give me some food, and dress it in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.

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

    7Then David sent to Tamar's house, saying, Go now to your brother Amnon's house, and prepare him some food.

    8So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, and he was lying down. And she took flour, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

    9And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Send out all men from me. And every man went out from him.

    10And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from your hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

    11And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come lie with me, my sister.

    12And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing should be done in Israel: do not commit this disgrace.

    13And as for me, where could I cause my shame to go? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.

    14However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

    15Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.

    16And she said to him, There is no reason: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that you did to me. But he would not listen to her.

    20And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? But hold your peace now, my sister: he is your brother; do not consider this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

    21But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.

    22And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

    23And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

    24And Absalom came to the king and said, Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant.

    25And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go now, lest we be a burden to you. And he urged him; however, he would not go, but blessed him.

    26Then Absalom said, If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?

    27But Absalom urged him, so he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

    28Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Watch now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Strike Amnon; then kill him, do not fear: have not I commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant.

    29And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man got on his mule and fled.

    30And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that news came to David, saying, Absalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

    31Then the king arose, tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.

    32And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men, the king's sons; for only Amnon is dead: for by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day he forced his sister Tamar.

    33Therefore let not my lord the king take the matter to his heart, thinking that all the king's sons are dead: for only Amnon is dead.

    34But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.
