  • 2 Sam 13:1-9 : 1 And 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. 2 And 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. 3 But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very cunning man. 4 And he said to him, Why are you, being the king's son, becoming thin from day to day? Will you not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. 5 And 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. 6 So 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. 7 Then David sent to Tamar's house, saying, Go now to your brother Amnon's house, and prepare him some food. 8 So 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. 9 And 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. 10 And 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. 11 And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come lie with me, my sister. 12 And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing should be done in Israel: do not commit this disgrace. 13 And 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. 14 However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. 15 Then 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. 16 And 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. 17 Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, Put this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. 18 And she had a garment of many colors upon her, for such robes were the king's daughters who were virgins clothed. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
