3But AmnonH550 had a friendH7453, whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093, David’s brotherH251: and JonadabH3122 was a veryH3966 subtle manH376.

4And he saidH559 unto him, WhyH4069, O sonH1121 of the kingH4428, art thou thusH3602 lean from day to day? wilt thou not tellH5046 me? And AmnonH550 saidH559 unto him, I loveH157 TamarH8559, my brotherH251 Absalom’s sisterH269.

5And JonadabH3082 saidH559 unto him, LayH7901 thee downH7901 on thy bedH4904, and feign thyself sickH2470: and whenH834 thy fatherH1 cometh to seeH7200 thee, sayH559 unto him, Let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935, I pray thee, and give me breadH3899 to eatH398, and dress the foodH3899 in my sight, that I may seeH7200 it, and eatH398 it from her handH3027.
