2Samuel:13:1-20

updv@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.

updv@2Samuel:13:2 @ And Amnon was so vexed 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.

updv@2Samuel:13:3 @ But Amnon had a companion, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.

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

updv@2Samuel:13:5 @ And Jonadab said to him, Lay down on your bed, and feign yourself sick: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray you, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.

updv@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 you, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.

updv@2Samuel:13:7 @ Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to your brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.

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

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

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

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

updv@2Samuel:13:12 @ And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: don't do this folly.

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

updv@2Samuel:13:14 @ Nevertheless he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.

updv@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, go.

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

updv@2Samuel:13:17 @ Then he called his servant that ministered to him, and said, Now put this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.

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

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

updv@2Samuel:13:20 @ And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister: he is your brother; don't take this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
