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.

And Amnon
was so vexed,
that he fell sick
for his sister

for she was a virgin;
and Amnon
thought
it hard
for him to do
any thing
to her.

But Amnon
had a friend,
whose name
was Jonadab,
the son
of Shimeah
David's
brother:
and Jonadab
was a very
subtil
man.
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.

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

in my sight,
that I may see
it, and eat
it at her hand.

So Amnon
lay down,

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.

And when she had brought

he took hold
of her, and said
unto her, Come

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.
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.
Howbeit he would
not hearken
unto her voice:
but, being stronger
than she, forced
her, and lay
with her.
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.

And she had a garment

apparelled.
Then his servant

And it came to pass after two full
years,
that Absalom

which is beside Ephraim:

And Jonadab,

answered
and said,
Let not my lord
suppose
that they have slain
all the young men
the king's

for Amnon
only is dead:
for by the appointment
of Absalom
this hath been determined
from the day
that he forced
his sister
Tamar.

Behold, the king's

as thy servant
said,
so it is.
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end
of speaking,
that, behold, the king's
sons
came,
and lifted up
their voice
and wept:
and the king
also and all his servants
wept
very
sore.
But Absalom
fled,
and went
to Talmai,
the son
of Ammihud,
king
of Geshur.
And David mourned
for his son
every day.

seeing he was dead.
