  • 2 Sam 13:1-9 : 1 And it came to pass after{H310} this, that Absalom{H53} the son{H1121} of David{H1732} had a fair{H3303} sister{H269}, whose name{H8034} was Tamar{H8559}; and Amnon{H550} the son{H1121} of David{H1732} loved{H157}{(H8799)} her. 2 And Amnon{H550} was so vexed{H3334}{(H8799)}, that he fell sick{H2470}{(H8692)} for his sister{H269} Tamar{H8559}; for she was a virgin{H1330}; and Amnon{H550} thought{H5869} it hard{H6381}{(H8735)} for him to do{H6213}{(H8800)} any thing{H3972} to her. 3 But Amnon{H550} had a friend{H7453}, whose name{H8034} was Jonadab{H3122}, the son{H1121} of Shimeah{H8093} David's{H1732} brother{H251}: and Jonadab{H3122} was a very{H3966} subtil{H2450} man{H376}. 4 And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Why art thou, being the king's{H4428} son{H1121}, lean{H1800} from day{H1242} to day{H1242}? wilt thou not tell{H5046}{(H8686)} me? And Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, I love{H157}{(H8802)} Tamar{H8559}, my brother{H251} Absalom's{H53} sister{H269}. 5 And Jonadab{H3082} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Lay thee down{H7901}{(H8798)} on thy bed{H4904}, and make thyself sick{H2470}{(H8690)}: and when thy father{H1} cometh{H935}{(H8804)} to see{H7200}{(H8800)} thee, say{H559}{(H8804)} unto him, I pray thee, let my sister{H269} Tamar{H8559} come{H935}{(H8799)}, and give{H1262}{(H8686)} me meat{H3899}, and dress{H6213}{(H8804)} the meat{H1279} in my sight{H5869}, that I may see{H7200}{(H8799)} it, and eat{H398}{(H8804)} it at her hand{H3027}. 6 So Amnon{H550} lay down{H7901}{(H8799)}, and made himself sick{H2470}{(H8691)}: and when the king{H4428} was come{H935}{(H8799)} to see{H7200}{(H8800)} him, Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, I pray thee, let Tamar{H8559} my sister{H269} come{H935}{(H8799)}, and make{H3823}{(H8762)} me a couple{H8147} of cakes{H3834} in my sight{H5869}, that I may eat{H1262}{(H8799)} at her hand{H3027}. 7 Then David{H1732} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} home{H1004} to Tamar{H8559}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Go{H3212}{(H8798)} now to thy brother{H251} Amnon's{H550} house{H1004}, and dress{H6213}{(H8798)} him meat{H1279}. 8 So Tamar{H8559} went{H3212}{(H8799)} to her brother{H251} Amnon's{H550} house{H1004}; and he was laid down{H7901}{(H8802)}. And she took{H3947}{(H8799)} flour{H1217}, and kneaded{H3888}{(H8799)} it, and made cakes{H3823}{(H8762)} in his sight{H5869}, and did bake{H1310}{(H8762)} the cakes{H3834}. 9 And she took{H3947}{(H8799)} a pan{H4958}, and poured them out{H3332}{(H8799)} before{H6440} him; but he refused{H3985}{(H8762)} to eat{H398}{(H8800)}. And Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Have out{H3318}{(H8685)} all men{H376} from me. And they went out{H3318}{(H8799)} every man{H376} from him. 10 And Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Tamar{H8559}, Bring{H935}{(H8685)} the meat{H1279} into the chamber{H2315}, that I may eat{H1262}{(H8799)} of thine hand{H3027}. And Tamar{H8559} took{H3947}{(H8799)} the cakes{H3834} which she had made{H6213}{(H8804)}, and brought{H935}{(H8686)} them into the chamber{H2315} to Amnon{H550} her brother{H251}. 11 And when she had brought{H5066}{(H8686)} them unto him to eat{H398}{(H8800)}, he took hold{H2388}{(H8686)} of her, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto her, Come{H935}{(H8798)} lie{H7901}{(H8798)} with me, my sister{H269}. 12 And she answered{H559}{(H8799)} him, Nay, my brother{H251}, do not force{H6031}{(H8762)} me; for no such thing ought{H3651} to be done{H6213}{(H8735)} in Israel{H3478}: do{H6213}{(H8799)} not thou this folly{H5039}. 13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame{H2781} to go{H3212}{(H8686)}? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one{H259} of the fools{H5036} in Israel{H3478}. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak{H1696}{(H8761)} unto the king{H4428}; for he will not withhold{H4513}{(H8799)} me from thee. 14 Howbeit he would{H14}{(H8804)} not hearken{H8085}{(H8800)} unto her voice{H6963}: but, being stronger{H2388}{(H8799)} than she, forced{H6031}{(H8762)} her, and lay{H7901}{(H8799)} with her. 15 Then Amnon{H550} hated{H8130}{(H8799)} her exceedingly{H3966}{H1419}; so that the hatred{H8135} wherewith he hated{H8130}{(H8804)} her was greater{H1419} than the love{H160} wherewith he had loved{H157}{(H8804)} her. And Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto her, Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, be gone{H3212}{(H8798)}. 16 And she said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, There is no cause{H182}: this evil{H7451} in sending me away{H7971}{(H8763)} is greater{H1419} than the other{H312} that thou didst{H6213}{(H8804)} unto me. But he would{H14}{(H8804)} not hearken{H8085}{(H8800)} unto her. 17 Then he called{H7121}{(H8799)} his servant{H5288} that ministered{H8334}{(H8764)} unto him, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Put{H7971}{(H8798)} now this woman out{H2351} from me, and bolt{H5274}{(H8798)} the door{H1817} after{H310} her. 18 And she had a garment{H3801} of divers colours{H6446} upon her: for with such robes{H4598} were the king's{H4428} daughters{H1323} that were virgins{H1330} apparelled{H3847}{(H8799)}. Then his servant{H8334}{(H8764)} brought{H3318}{(H8686)} her out{H2351}, and bolted{H5274}{(H8804)} the door{H1817} after{H310} her.
