2 Samuel 13:15-22

15Then AmnonH550 hatedH8130 her exceedinglyH1419H3966; so that the hatredH8135 wherewith he hatedH8130 her was greaterH1419 than the loveH160 wherewith he had lovedH157 her. And AmnonH550 saidH559 unto her, AriseH6965, be goneH3212.1 16And she saidH559 unto him, There is no causeH182: this evilH7451 in sending me awayH7971 is greaterH1419 than the otherH312 that thou didstH6213 unto me. But he wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto her. 17Then he calledH7121 his servantH5288 that ministeredH8334 unto him, and saidH559, PutH7971 now this woman outH2351 from me, and boltH5274 the doorH1817 afterH310 her. 18And she had a garmentH3801 of divers coloursH6446 upon her: for with such robesH4598 were the king’sH4428 daughtersH1323 that were virginsH1330 apparelledH3847. Then his servantH8334 broughtH3318 her outH2351, and boltedH5274 the doorH1817 afterH310 her.

19And TamarH8559 putH3947 ashesH665 on her headH7218, and rentH7167 her garmentH3801 of divers coloursH6446 that was on her, and laidH7760 her handH3027 on her headH7218, and wentH3212 onH1980 cryingH2199. 20And AbsalomH53 her brotherH251 saidH559 unto her, Hath AmnonH550 thy brotherH251 been with thee? but hold now thy peaceH2790, my sisterH269: he is thy brotherH251; regardH3820H7896 not this thingH1697. So TamarH8559 remainedH3427 desolateH8074 in her brotherH251 Absalom’sH53 houseH1004.234

21But when kingH4428 DavidH1732 heardH8085 of all these thingsH1697, he was veryH3966 wrothH2734. 22And AbsalomH53 spakeH1696 unto his brother AmnonH550 neither goodH2896 nor badH7451: for AbsalomH53 hatedH8130 AmnonH550, becauseH1697 he had forcedH6031 his sisterH269 TamarH8559.
