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 .
asv @
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 unto her .
asv @
2Samuel:13:3 @
But Amnon had a friend ,
whose name was Jonadab ,
the son of Shimeah ,
David '
s brother ;
and Jonadab was a very subtle man .
asv @
2Samuel:13:4 @
And he said unto him ,
Why ,
O son of the king ,
art thou thus lean from day to day ?
wilt thou not tell me ?
And Amnon said unto him ,
I love Tamar ,
my brother Absalom '
s sister .
asv @
2Samuel:13:5 @
And Jonadab said unto him ,
Lay thee down on thy bed ,
and feign thyself sick :
and when thy father cometh to see thee ,
say unto 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 see it ,
and eat it from her hand .
asv @
2Samuel:13:6 @
So Amnon lay down ,
and feigned himself sick :
and when the king was come to see him ,
Amnon said unto the king ,
Let her sister Tamar come ,
I pray thee ,
and make me a couple of cakes in my sight ,
that I may eat from her hand .
asv @
2Samuel:13:7 @
Then David sent home to Tamar ,
saying ,
Go now to thy brother Amnon '
s house ,
and dress him food .
asv @
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 did bake the cakes .
asv @
2Samuel:13:9 @
And she took the 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 .
asv @
2Samuel:13:10 @
And 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 .
asv @
2Samuel:13:11 @
And when she had brought them near unto him to eat ,
he took hold of her ,
and said unto her ,
Come ,
lie with me ,
my sister .
asv @
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 .
asv @
2Samuel:13:13 @
And I ,
whither shall I carry my shame ?
and as for thee ,
thou wilt 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 .
asv @
2Samuel:13:14 @
Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice ;
but being stronger than she ,
he forced her ,
and lay with her .
asv @
2Samuel:13:15 @
Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred ;
for the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her .
And Amnon said unto her ,
Arise ,
be gone .
asv @
2Samuel:13:16 @
And she said unto him ,
Not so ,
because this great wrong in putting me forth is worse than the other that thou didst unto me .
But he would not hearken unto her .
asv @
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 .
asv @
2Samuel:13:18 @
And she had a garment of divers colors 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 .
asv @
2Samuel:13:19 @
And Tamar put ashes on her head ,
and rent her garment of divers colors that was on her ;
and she laid her hand on her head ,
and went her way ,
crying aloud as she went .
asv @
2Samuel:13:20 @
And Absalom her brother said unto her ,
Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee ?
but now hold thy peace ,
my sister :
he is thy brother ;
take not this thing to heart .
So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom '
s house .
asv @
2Samuel:13:21 @
But when king David heard of all these things ,
he was very wroth .
asv @
2Samuel:13:22 @
And Absalom spake unto Amnon neither good nor bad ;
for Absalom hated Amnon ,
because he had forced his sister Tamar .
