acv - 2Samuel:13:1-20

acv@2Samuel:13:1 @ 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.

acv@2Samuel:13:2 @ And Amnon was so frustrated that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar. For she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

acv@2Samuel:13:3 @ But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother. And Jonadab was a very sly man.

acv@2Samuel:13:4 @ And he said to him, Why, O son of the king, are thou emaciated this way from day to day? Will thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

acv@2Samuel:13:5 @ And Jonadab said to him, Lay down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick. And when thy father comes to see thee, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may se

acv@2Samuel:13:6 @ So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick. And when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.

acv@2Samuel:13:7 @ Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and make food for him.

acv@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, and he was laid down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

acv@2Samuel:13:9 @ And she took the pan, and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have all men out from me. And they went out every man from him.

acv@2Samuel:13:10 @ And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

acv@2Samuel:13:11 @ And when she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lay with me, my sister.

acv@2Samuel:13:12 @ And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not do thou this folly.

acv@2Samuel:13:13 @ And I, where shall I carry my shame? And as for thee, thou will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from thee.

acv@2Samuel:13:14 @ However he would not hearken to her voice, but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.

acv@2Samuel:13:15 @ Then Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred, for 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.

acv@2Samuel:13:16 @ And she said to him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is [worse] than the other that thou did to me. But he would not hearken to her.

acv@2Samuel:13:17 @ Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, Put this woman out from me now, and bolt the door after her.

acv@2Samuel:13:18 @ And she had a garment of various colors upon her, for with such robes were the king's daughters who were virgins appareled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

acv@2Samuel:13:19 @ And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her. And she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.

acv@2Samuel:13:20 @ And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon thy brother been with thee? But now hold thy peace, my sister. He is thy brother. Do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
