2 Samuel 13:1-4

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 was in loveH157 with her.

2But AmnonH550 wasH6887 so frustratedH6887 on accountH5668 of his sisterH269 TamarH8559 that he madeH2470 himself illH2470, forH3588 she was a virginH1330, and it 4seemedH6381H5869 tooH6381 difficultH6381 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 cleverH2450 manH376.

4And he saidH559 to him, “WhyH4069 are you, the king’sH4428 sonH1121, soH3602 depressedH1800 morningH1242 after morningH1242? Will you not tellH5046 me?” So AmnonH550 saidH559 to him, “I am in loveH157 with TamarH8559, the sisterH269 of my brotherH251 AbsalomH53.”
