2 Samuel 13:15-22

15And AmnonH550 hatedH8130 her with an exceeding greatH1419 hatredH8135, for the hatredH8135 with which he hatedH8130 her was greaterH1419 than the loveH157 with which he had lovedH157 her. And AmnonH550 saidH559 to her, AriseH6965, be gone.

16And she saidH559 to him, There is no cause for this evilH7451 in sendingH7971 me awayH7971, [which] is greaterH1419 than the otherH312 that thou didst to me. But he wouldH14 not hearken to her.

17Then he calledH7121 his youngH5288 manH5288 that attended upon him, and saidH559, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the doorH1817 after her.

18Now she had a vest of many colours upon her; for soH3651 were the king's daughtersH1323 that were virginsH1330 apparelled. And his attendant broughtH3318 her out, and bolted the doorH1817 after her.

19And TamarH8559 putH7760 ashesH665 on her headH7218, and rent her vest of many colours which was on her, and laid her handH3027 on her headH7218, and wentH1980 away, cryingH2199 out as she wentH1980.

20And AbsalomH53 her brotherH251 saidH559 to her, Has AmnonH550 thy brotherH251 beenH1961 with thee? and nowH6258, my sisterH269, beH1961 still: he is thy brotherH251; take not this thingH1697 to heartH3820. And TamarH8559 remainedH3427, and [that] desolateH8076, in her brotherH251 Absalom's houseH1004.

21And kingH4428 DavidH1732 heardH8085 of all these thingsH1697, and he was veryH3966 angryH2734.

22And AbsalomH53 spokeH1696 to AmnonH550 neither goodH2896 nor badH7451; for AbsalomH53 hatedH8130 AmnonH550, because he had humbled his sisterH269 TamarH8559.
