2 Samuel 13:1-14

1And it came to pass after this, that AbsalomH53 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 having a beautifulH3303 sisterH269, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559, AmnonH550 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 lovedH157 her.

2And AmnonH550 was so vexed, that he fell sickH2470 for his sisterH269 TamarH8559; for she was a virginH1330; and it seemed difficultH6381 for AmnonH550 to do the least thing to her.

3And AmnonH550 had a friendH7453 whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 David's brotherH251; and JonadabH3122 was a veryH3966 shrewd manH376.

4And he saidH559 to him, WhyH4069 dost thou, the king's sonH1121, get thinner from morningH1242 to morningH1242? Wilt thou not tellH5046 me? And AmnonH550 saidH559 to him, I loveH157 TamarH8559, my brotherH251 Absalom's sisterH269.

5And JonadabH3082 saidH559 to him, LayH7901 thee downH7901 on thy bedH4904 and feign thyself sickH2470; and whenH834 thy fatherH1 comesH935 to seeH7200 thee, sayH559 to him, I pray thee, let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935, and give me foodH3899, and dress the foodH3899 in my sight, that I may seeH7200 it, and eatH398 it from her handH3027.

6So AmnonH550 layH7901 downH7901 and feigned himself sickH2470; and the kingH4428 cameH935 to seeH7200 him, and AmnonH550 saidH559 to the kingH4428, I pray thee, let TamarH8559 my sisterH269 comeH935, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eatH1262 from her handH3027.

7And DavidH1732 sentH7971 home to TamarH8559, sayingH559, GoH7971, I pray thee, to thy brotherH251 Amnon's houseH1004, and dress him foodH1279.

8And TamarH8559 went to her brotherH251 Amnon's houseH1004; and he had lainH7901 downH7901. And she tookH3947 flour and kneadedH3888 it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

9And she tookH3947 the pan, and pouredH3332 them out before him; but he refusedH3985 to eatH398. And AmnonH550 saidH559, Put every manH376 out from me. And they wentH3318 out every manH376 from him.

10And AmnonH550 saidH559 to TamarH8559, BringH935 the dish into the chamberH2315, that I may eatH1262 of thy handH3027. And TamarH8559 tookH3947 the cakes that she had madeH6213, and broughtH935 them into the chamberH2315 to AmnonH550 her brotherH251.

11And she presented them to him to eatH398; and he tookH2388 holdH2388 of her, and saidH559 to her, ComeH935, lieH7901 with me, my sisterH269.

12And she saidH559 to him, No, my brotherH251, do not humble me; for no such thing is done in IsraelH3478: do not this infamy.

13And I, whither shall I carry my reproachH2781? and thou wouldest beH1961 as oneH259 of the infamous in IsraelH3478. And nowH6258, I pray thee, speakH1696 to the kingH4428; for he will not withholdH4513 me from thee.

14But he wouldH14 not hearken to her voiceH6963, and was strongerH2388 than she, and humbled her and layH7901 with her.
