@ And it came to pass
after
this, that
Absalom
the
son
of
David
had a
fair
sister
, whose
name
was
Tamar
; and
Amnon
the
son
of
David
loved
her.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:2
@ And
Amnon
was so
vexed
, that he fell
sick
for his
sister
Tamar
; for she was a
virgin
; and
Amnon
thought
it
hard
for him to
do
any
thing
to her.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:3
@ But
Amnon
had a
friend
, whose
name
was
Jonadab
, the
son
of
Shimeah
Davids
brother
: and
Jonadab
was a
very
subtil
man
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:4
@ And he
said
unto him, Why art thou, being the
kings
son
,
lean
from
day
to
day
? wilt thou not
tell
me? And
Amnon
said
unto him, I
love
Tamar
, my
brother
Absaloms
sister
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:5
@ And
Jonadab
said
unto him, Lay thee
down
on thy
bed
, and make thyself
sick
: and when thy
father
cometh
to
see
thee,
say
unto him, I pray thee, let my
sister
Tamar
come
, and
give
me
meat
, and
dress
the
meat
in my
sight
, that I may
see
it, and
eat
it at her
hand
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:6
@ So
Amnon
lay
down
, and made himself
sick
: and when the
king
was
come
to
see
him,
Amnon
said
unto the
king
, I pray thee, let
Tamar
my
sister
come
, and
make
me a
couple
of
cakes
in my
sight
, that I may
eat
at her
hand
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:7
@ Then
David
sent
home
to
Tamar
,
saying
,
Go
now to thy
brother
Amnon'
s
house
, and
dress
him
meat
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:8
@ So
Tamar
went
to her
brother
Amnons
house
; and he was laid
down
. And she
took
flour
, and
kneaded
it, and made
cakes
in his
sight
, and did
bake
the
cakes
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:9
@ And she
took
a
pan
, and poured them
out
before
him; but he
refused
to
eat
. And
Amnon
said
, Have
out
all
men
from me. And they went
out
every
man
from him.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:10
@ And
Amnon
said
unto
Tamar
,
Bring
the
meat
into the
chamber
, that I may
eat
of thine
hand
. And
Tamar
took
the
cakes
which she had
made
, and
brought
them into the
chamber
to
Amnon
her
brother
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:11
@ And when she had
brought
them unto him to
eat
, he took
hold
of her, and
said
unto her,
Come
lie
with me, my
sister
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:12
@ And she
answered
him, Nay, my
brother
, do not
force
me; for no such thing
ought
to be
done
in
Israel
:
do
not thou this
folly
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:13
@ And I, whither shall I cause my
shame
to
go
? and as for thee, thou shalt be as
one
of the
fools
in
Israel
. Now therefore, I pray thee,
speak
unto the
king
; for he will not
withhold
me from thee.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:14
@ Howbeit he
would
not
hearken
unto her
voice
: but, being
stronger
than she,
forced
her, and
lay
with her.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:15
@ Then
Amnon
hated
her
exceedingly
H1419; so that the
hatred
wherewith he
hated
her was
greater
than the
love
wherewith he had
loved
her. And
Amnon
said
unto her,
Arise
, be
gone
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:16
@ And she
said
unto him, There is no
cause
: this
evil
in sending me
away
is
greater
than the
other
that thou
didst
unto me. But he
would
not
hearken
unto her.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:17
@ Then he
called
his
servant
that
ministered
unto him, and
said
,
Put
now this woman
out
from me, and
bolt
the
door
after
her.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:18
@ And she had a
garment
of divers
colours
upon her: for with such
robes
were the
kings
daughters
that were
virgins
apparelled
. Then his
servant
brought
her
out
, and
bolted
the
door
after
her.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:19
@ And
Tamar
put
ashes
on her
head
, and
rent
her
garment
of divers
colours
that was on her, and
laid
her
hand
on her
head
, and
went
on
crying
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:20
@ And
Absalom
her
brother
said
unto her, Hath
Amnon
thy
brother
been with thee? but hold now thy
peace
, my
sister
: he is thy
brother
;
regard
not this
thing
. So
Tamar
remained
desolate
in her
brother
Absaloms
house
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:21
@ But when
king
David
heard
of all these
things
, he was
very
wroth
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:22
@ And
Absalom
spake
unto his brother
Amnon
neither
good
nor
bad
: for
Absalom
hated
Amnon
,
because
he had
forced
his
sister
Tamar
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:23
@ And it came to pass after two
full
years
, that
Absalom
had
sheepshearers
in
Baalhazor
al, which is beside
Ephraim
: and
Absalom
invited
all the
kings
sons
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:24
@ And
Absalom
came
to the
king
, and
said
, Behold now, thy
servant
hath
sheepshearers
;
let
the
king
, I beseech thee, and his
servants
go
with thy
servant
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:25
@ And the
king
said
to
Absalom
, Nay, my
son
, let us not all now
go
, lest we be
chargeable
unto thee. And he
pressed
him: howbeit he
would
not
go
, but
blessed
him.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:26
@ Then
said
Absalom
, If not, I pray thee, let my
brother
Amnon
go
with us. And the
king
said
unto him, Why should he
go
with thee?
strkjv@2Samuel:13:27
@ But
Absalom
pressed
him, that he let
Amnon
and all the
kings
sons
go
with him.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:28
@ Now
Absalom
had
commanded
his
servants
,
saying
,
Mark
ye now when
Amnons
heart
is
merry
with
wine
, and when I
say
unto you,
Smite
Amnon
; then
kill
him,
fear
not: have not I
commanded
you? be
courageous
, and be
valiant
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:29
@ And the
servants
of
Absalom
did
unto
Amnon
as
Absalom
had
commanded
. Then all the
kings
sons
arose
, and every
man
gat him
up
upon his
mule
, and
fled
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:30
@ And it came to pass, while they were in the
way
, that
tidings
came
to
David
,
saying
,
Absalom
hath
slain
all the
kings
sons
, and there is not
one
of them
left
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:31
@ Then the
king
arose
, and
tare
his
garments
, and
lay
on the
earth
; and all his
servants
stood
by with their
clothes
rent
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:32
@ And
Jonadab
, the
son
of
Shimeah
Davids
brother
,
answered
and
said
, Let not my
lord
suppose
that they have
slain
all the young
men
the
kings
sons
; for
Amnon
only is
dead
: for by the
appointment
of
Absalom
this hath been
determined
from the
day
that he
forced
his
sister
Tamar
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:33
@ Now therefore let not my
lord
the
king
take
the
thing
to his
heart
, to
think
that all the
kings
sons
are
dead
: for
Amnon
only is
dead
.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:34
@ But
Absalom
fled
. And the young
man
that kept the
watch
lifted
up
his
eyes
, and
looked
, and, behold, there
came
much
people
by the
way
of the
hill
side
behind
him.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:35
@ And
Jonadab
said
unto the
king
, Behold, the
kings
sons
come
: as thy
servant
said
, so it is.
strkjv@2Samuel:13:36
@ And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an
end
of
speaking
, that, behold, the
kings
sons
came
, and lifted
up
their
voice
and
wept
: and the
king
also and all his
servants
wept
very
sore

mourned
