1After some timeH1961H310H3651, David’sH1732 sonH1121 AmnonH550 fell in loveH157 with TamarH8559, the beautifulH3303 sisterH269 of David’sH1732 sonH1121 AbsalomH53. 2AmnonH550 was sickH2470 with frustrationH3334 overH5668 his sisterH269 TamarH8559, forH3588 sheH1931 was a virginH1330, and it seemedH5869 implausibleH6381 forH550 him to doH6213 anythingH3972 to her.

3Now AmnonH550 had a friendH7453 namedH8034 JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of David’sH1732 brotherH251 ShimeahH8093.1 JonadabH3122 was a veryH3966 shrewdH2450 manH376, 4and he askedH559 Amnon, “WhyH4069 are youH859, the sonH1121 of the kingH4428, soH3602 depressedH1800 morningH1242 after morningH1242? Won’tH3808 you tellH5046 me?”

AmnonH550 repliedH559, “I amH589 in loveH157 with TamarH8559, my brotherH251 Absalom’sH53 sisterH269.”
