is ]
Tamar ,
and Amnon son of David loveth her .
ylt @
2Samuel:13:2 @
And Amnon hath distress --
even to become sick ,

Wherefore [
art ]
thou thus lean ,
O king '

morning by morning ?
dost thou not declare to me ?'

Tamar --

I am loving .'

Lie down on thy couch ,
and feign thyself sick ,
and thy father hath come in to see thee ,
and thou hast said unto him , '
Let ,
I pray thee ,
Tamar my sister come in and give me bread to eat ;
and she hath made the food before mine eyes so that I see [
it ],
and have eaten from her hand .'

2Samuel:13:6 @
And Amnon lieth down ,
and feigneth himself sick ,
and the king cometh in to see him ,
and Amnon saith unto the king , '
Let ,
I pray thee ,
Tamar my sister come ,
and she maketh before mine eyes two cakes ,
and I eat from her hand .'
ylt @

to the house ,
saying , '
Go ,

to the house of Amnon thy brother ,
and make for him food .'

and he is lying down ,

and maketh cakes before his eyes ,
and cooketh the cakes ,
ylt @
2Samuel:13:9 @
and taketh the frying-pan ,
and poureth out before him ,
and he refuseth to eat ,
and Amnon saith , '
Take ye out every one from me ;'
and they go out every one from him .
ylt @
2Samuel:13:10 @
And Amnon saith unto Tamar , '
Bring the food into the inner chamber ,
and I eat from thy hand ;'
and Tamar taketh the cakes that she hath made ,
and bringeth in to Amnon her brother ,
into the inner chamber ,
ylt @
2Samuel:13:11 @
and she bringeth nigh unto him to eat ,
and he layeth hold on her ,
and saith to her , '
Come ,
lie with me ,
my sister .'
ylt @
2Samuel:13:12 @
And she saith to him , '
Nay ,
my brother ,
do not humble me ,
for it is not done so in Israel ;
do not this folly .
ylt @
2Samuel:13:13 @
And I --
whither do I cause my reproach to go ?
and thou --
thou art as one of the fools in Israel ;
and now ,
speak ,
I pray thee ,
unto the king ;
for he doth not withhold me from thee .'
ylt @
2Samuel:13:14 @
And he hath not been willing to hearken to her voice ,
and is stronger than she ,
and humbleth her ,
and lieth with her .
ylt @
2Samuel:13:15 @
And Amnon hateth her --
a very great hatred --
that greater [
is ]
the hatred with which he hath hated her than the love with which he loved her ,
and Amnon saith to her , '
Rise ,
go .'
ylt @
2Samuel:13:16 @
And she saith to him , '
Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that thou hast done with me --
to send me away ;'
and he hath not been willing to hearken to her ,
ylt @
2Samuel:13:17 @
and calleth his young man ,
his servant ,
and saith , '
Send away ,
I pray thee ,
this one from me without ,
and bolt the door after her ;'
ylt @
2Samuel:13:18 @--
and upon her [
is ]
a long coat ,
for such upper robes do daughters of the king who [
are ]
virgins put on , --
and his servant taketh her out without ,
and hath bolted the door after her .
ylt @
2Samuel:13:19 @
And Tamar taketh ashes for her head ,
and the long coat that [
is ]
on her she hath rent ,
and putteth her hand on her head ,
and goeth ,
going on and crying ;
ylt @
2Samuel:13:20 @
and Absalom her brother saith unto her , '
Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee ?
and now ,
my sister ,
keep silent ,
he [
is ]
thy brother ;
set not thy heart to this thing ;'
and Tamar dwelleth --
but desolate --
in the house of Absalom her brother .
ylt @
2Samuel:13:21 @
And king David hath heard all these things ,
and it is very displeasing to him ;
ylt @
2Samuel:13:22 @
and Absalom hath not spoken with Amnon either evil or good ,
for Absalom is hating Amnon ,
because that he humbled Tamar his sister .
