1 H310 It happened after H53 this, that Absalom H1121 the son H1732 of David H3303 had a beautiful H269 sister, H8034 whose name H8559 was Tamar; H550 and Amnon H1121 the son H1732 of David H157 loved her.

2 H550 Amnon H3334 was so troubled H2470 that he fell sick H269 because of his sister H8559 Tamar; H1330 for she was a virgin; H5869 and it seemed H6381 hard H550 to Amnon H6213 to do H3972 anything to her.

3 H550 But Amnon H7453 had a friend, H8034 whose name H3122 was Jonadab, H1121 the son H8093 of Shimeah, H1732 David's H251 brother; H3122 and Jonadab H3966 was a very H2450 subtle H376 man.

4 H559 He said H1121 to him, "Why, son H4428 of the king, H1800 are you so sad H1242 from day H1242 to day? H5046 Won't you tell H550 me?" Amnon H559 said H157 to him, "I love H8559 Tamar, H251 my brother H53 Absalom's H269 sister."

5 H3082 Jonadab H559 said H7901 to him, "Lay down H4904 on your bed, H2470 and pretend to be sick. H1 When your father H935 comes H7200 to see H559 you, tell H269 him, ‘Please let my sister H8559 Tamar H935 come H1262 and give H3899 me bread H6213 to eat, and dress H3899 the food H5869 in my sight, H7200 that I may see H398 it, and eat H3027 it from her hand.'"

6 H550 So Amnon H7901 lay down H2470 and faked being sick. H4428 When the king H935 came H7200 to see H550 him, Amnon H559 said H4428 to the king, H269 "Please let my sister H8559 Tamar H935 come, H3823 and make H8147 me a couple H3834 of cakes H5869 in my sight, H1262 that I may eat H3027 from her hand."

7 H1732 Then David H7971 sent H1004 home H8559 to Tamar, H559 saying, H3212 "Go H251 now to your brother H550 Amnon's H1004 house, H6213 and prepare H1279 food for him."

8 H8559 So Tamar H3212 went H251 to her brother H550 Amnon's H1004 house; H7901 and he was laid down. H3947 She took H1217 dough, H3888 and kneaded H3823 it, and made cakes H5869 in his sight, H1310 and baked H3823 the cakes.

9 H3947 She took H4958 the pan, H3332 and poured them out H6440 before H3985 him; but he refused H398 to eat. H550 Amnon H559 said, H376 "Have all men H3318 leave H376 me." Every man H3318 went out from him.

10 H550 Amnon H559 said H8559 to Tamar, H935 "Bring H1279 the food H2315 into the room, H1262 that I may eat H3027 from your hand." H8559 Tamar H3947 took H3834 the cakes H6213 which she had made, H935 and brought H2315 them into the room H550 to Amnon H251 her brother.

11 H5066 When she had brought H398 them near to him to eat, H2388 he took hold H559 of her, and said H935 to her, "Come, H7901 lie H269 with me, my sister!"

12 H559 She answered H251 him, "No, my brother, H6031 do not force H3651 me! For no such thing ought H6213 to be done H3478 in Israel. H6213 Don't you do H5039 this folly.

13 H3212 I, where would I carry H2781 my shame? H259 And as for you, you will be as one H5036 of the fools H3478 in Israel. H1696 Now therefore, please speak H4428 to the king; H4513 for he will not withhold me from you."

14 H14 However he would H8085 not listen H6963 to her voice; H2388 but being stronger H6031 than she, he forced H7901 her, and lay with her.

15 H550 Then Amnon H8130 hated H8135 her with exceeding great hatred; H8135 for the hatred H8130 with which he hated H1419 her was greater H160 than the love H157 with which he had loved H550 her. Amnon H559 said H6965 to her, "Arise, H3212 be gone!"

16 H559 She said H182 to him, "Not so, because H7451 this great wrong H7971 in sending me away H1419 is worse H312 than the other H6213 that you did H14 to me!" But he would H8085 not listen to her.

17 H7121 Then he called H5288 his servant H8334 who ministered H559 to him, and said, H7971 "Put H2351 now this woman out H5274 from me, and bolt H1817 the door H310 after her."

18 H3801 She had a garment H6446 of various colors H4598 on her; for with such robes H4428 were the king's H1323 daughters H1330 who were virgins H3847 dressed. H8334 Then his servant H3318 brought H2351 her out, H5274 and bolted H1817 the door H310 after her.

19 H8559 Tamar H3947 put H665 ashes H7218 on her head, H7167 and tore H3801 her garment H6446 of various colors H7760 that was on her; and she laid H3027 her hand H1980 on H7218 her head, H3212 and went H2199 her way, crying aloud as she went.

20 H53 Absalom H251 her brother H559 said H550 to her, "Has Amnon H251 your brother H2790 been with you? But now hold your peace, H269 my sister. H251 He is your brother. H7896 Don't take H1697 this thing H8559 to heart." So Tamar H3427 remained H8074 desolate H251 in her brother H53 Absalom's H1004 house.
