2SA-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.
2SA-13:2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his
sister Tamar; for she [was] a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard
for him to do any thing to her.
2SA-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.
2SA-13:4 And he said unto him, Why [art] thou, [being] the
king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And
Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
2SA-13:5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed,
and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee,
say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me
meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it], and
eat [it] at her hand.
2SA-13:6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the
king was come 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.
2SA-13:7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy
brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
2SA-13:8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was
laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded [it], and made cakes
in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
2SA-13:9 And she took a 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.
2SA-13:10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the
chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes
which she had made, and brought [them] into the chamber to Amnon
her brother.
2SA-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.
2SA-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.
2SA-13:13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? 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.
2SA-13:14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but,
being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
2SA-13:15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred
wherewith he hated her [was] greater than the love wherewith he
had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
2SA-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.
2SA-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.
2SA-13:18 And [she had] a garment of divers 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.
2SA-13:19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment
of divers colours that [was] on her, and laid her hand on her
head, and went on crying.
2SA-13:20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy
brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he
[is] thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained
desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
