2 Samuel 13:1-14

1Now it was afterH310 thisH3651 that 1AbsalomH53 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 had a beautifulH3303 sisterH269 whose nameH8034 was 2TamarH8559, and 3AmnonH550 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 lovedH157 her. 2AmnonH550 was so frustratedH6887 becauseH5668 of his sisterH269 TamarH8559 that he madeH2470 himself illH2470, for she was a virginH1330, and it seemedH6381 4hardH6381 to AmnonH550 to doH6213 anythingH3972 to her. 3But AmnonH550 had a friendH7453 whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3082, the sonH1121 of 56ShimeahH8093, David’sH1732 brotherH251; and JonadabH3082 was a veryH3966 shrewdH2450 manH376. 4He saidH559 to him, “O sonH1121 of the kingH4428, whyH4069 are you soH3602 depressedH1800 morningH1242 after morningH1242? Will you not tellH5046 me?” Then AmnonH550 saidH559 to him, “I am in loveH157 with TamarH8559, the sisterH269 of my brotherH251 AbsalomH53.” 5JonadabH3082 then saidH559 to him, “LieH7901 downH7901 on your bedH4904 and pretendH2470 to be illH2470; when your fatherH1 comesH935 to seeH7200 you, sayH559 to him, ‘PleaseH4994 let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935 and give me some foodH3899 to eatH1262, and let her prepareH6213 the foodH1279 in my sightH5869, that I may seeH7200 it and eatH398 from her handH3027.’” 6So AmnonH550 layH7901 downH7901 and pretendedH2470 to be illH2470; when the kingH4428 cameH935 to seeH7200 him, AmnonH550 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “PleaseH4994 let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935 and 7makeH3823 me a coupleH8147 of cakesH3834 in my sightH5869, that I may eatH1262 from her handH3027.”

7Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 to the houseH1004 for TamarH8559, sayingH559, “GoH1980 nowH4994 to your brotherH251 Amnon’sH550 houseH1004, and prepareH6213 foodH1279 for him.” 8So TamarH8559 wentH1980 to her brotherH251 Amnon’sH550 houseH1004, and he was lyingH7901 downH7901. And she tookH3947 doughH1217, kneadedH3888 it, madeH3823 cakesH3823 in his sightH5869, and bakedH1310 the cakesH3834. 9She tookH3947 the panH4958 and 8dishedH3332 them out beforeH6440 him, but he refusedH3985 to eatH398. And AmnonH550 saidH559, “9Have everyoneH3605H376 goH3318 out from me.” So everyoneH3605H376 wentH3318 out from him. 10Then AmnonH550 saidH559 to TamarH8559, “BringH935 the foodH1279 into the 10bedroomH2315, that I may eatH1262 from your handH3027.” So TamarH8559 tookH3947 the cakesH3834 whichH834 she had madeH6213 and broughtH935 them into the bedroomH2315 to her brotherH251 AmnonH550. 11When she broughtH5066 them to him to eatH398, he 11tookH2388 holdH2388 of her and saidH559 to her, “ComeH935, lieH7901 with me, my sisterH269.” 12But she answeredH559 him, “NoH408, my brotherH251, do not violateH6031 me, for 12suchH3651 a thingH3651 is not doneH6213 in IsraelH3478; do not doH6213 thisH2088 13disgracefulH5039 thingH5039! 13As for me, whereH575 could I 14getH1980 ridH1980 of my reproachH2781? And as for you, you will be like oneH259 of the 15foolsH5036 in IsraelH3478. NowH6258 therefore, pleaseH4994 speakH1696 to the kingH4428, for 16he will not withholdH4513 me from you.” 14However, he wouldH14 not listenH8085 to 17her; since he was strongerH2388 thanH4480 she, he 18violatedH6031 her and layH7901 with her.
