jub - 2Samuel:13:1-20

jub@2Samuel:13:1 @ 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.

jub@2Samuel:13:2 @ And Amnon was so distressed that he fell sick for his sister Tamar, for she [was] a virgin, and Amnon thought it difficult for him to do any thing to her.

jub@2Samuel:13:3 @ But Amnon had a friend, whose name [was] Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, and Jonadab [was] a very astute man.

jub@2Samuel:13:4 @ And he said unto him, Why [art] thou, [being] the king's son, becoming thinner from day to day? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

jub@2Samuel:13:5 @ And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed and pretend to be sick; and when thy father comes to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come and give me food and make the food in my sight that I may see [it] and eat [it] at her hand.

jub@2Samuel:13:6 @ So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick, and when the king cane 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.

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

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

jub@2Samuel:13:9 @ Then she took a pan and poured [them] out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Send everyone out from me. And they all went out from him.

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

jub@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.

jub@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 commit this folly.

jub@2Samuel:13:13 @ And I, where shall I go with my reproach? 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.

jub@2Samuel:13:14 @ Howbeit, he would not hearken unto her voice, but, being stronger than she, forced her and lay with her.

jub@2Samuel:13:15 @ 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 unto her, Arise, be gone.

jub@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.

jub@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.

jub@2Samuel:13:18 @ And [she had] a garment of different colours upon her, for with such robes were the king's daughters [that were] virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her.

jub@2Samuel:13:19 @ And Tamar put ashes on her head and rent her garment of different colours that [was] on her and laid her hand on her head and went on crying.

jub@2Samuel:13:20 @ And Absalom, her brother, said unto her, Has Amnon thy brother been with thee? But now remain silent, my sister; he is thy brother; do not regard this thing in thy heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
