²⁰ Then Absalom her brother said unto her, "Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? Now then, be still my sister: for he is thy brother. And let not this thing grieve thine heart." And so Tamar remained discomforted in her brother Absalom's house. ²¹ And king David heard of all these things and was very wroth. ²² And Absalom said unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad. Howbeit, Absalom hated Amnon because he had forced his sister Tamar. ²³ And it happened, two year after, that Absalom had a sheep shearing in Baal Hazor besides the tribe of Ephraim, and bade all the king's sons. ²⁴ And he came to the king and said, "Behold, thy servant hath a sheep shearing. Let the king and his servants come with thy servant." ²⁵ And the king said unto Absalom, "Oh nay my son let us not go every one of us that we be not chargeable unto thee." And Absalom lay sore upon him: howbeit, he would not go, but blessed him. ²⁶ Then said Absalom, "Then let my brother Amnon go with us."

Thou hast declared this day that thou carest neither for thy lords nor servants. For this day I do perceive, if Absalom had lived, and all we died this day, that then it had pleased thee well. ⁷ Now therefore up and come out, and speak kindly unto thy servants, I swear by the LORD, except thou come out, there will not tarry one man with thee this night. And that will be worse unto thee, than all the evil that fell on thee from thine youth unto this hour." ⁸ Then the king arose and sat down in the Gate. And it was told unto all the people, how the king sat in the Gate. And then all the people came before the king. But Israel fled every man to his tent. ⁹ And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies. And he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines. ¹⁰ And now he is fled out of the land for Absalom. But Absalom whom we anointed over us is dead in battle. Now therefore why are ye so still, that ye bring not the king again?"

³ And it was answered again, that she was Bathsheba the daughter of Eliam and wife to Uriah the Hittite.

¹ And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him and said unto him, "There were two men in one city, a rich and a poor. ² And the rich had exceeding great abundance of sheep and oxen. ³ But the poor had nothing, save one little lamb which he bought and nourished up. And it grew up with him and his children, and did eat of his own meat and drank of his own cup, and slept in his bosom, and was as dear unto him as his daughter. ⁴ And there came a stranger unto the rich man. And he could not find in his heart to take of his own sheep nor of his beasts to dress for the stranger that was come unto him. But took the poor man's lamb and dressed it for the man that was come to him." ⁵ And David was exceeding wroth with the man, and said to Nathan, "As surely as the LORD liveth, the fellow that hath done this thing is the child of death ⁶ and shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and because he had no pity." ⁷ Then Nathan said to David, "Thou art the man. Thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel, 'I anointed thee king over Israel and rid thee out of the hands of Saul. ⁸ And I gave thee thy master's house and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah — and would, if that had been too little, have given thee twice so much more. ⁹ Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do wickedness in his sight? Thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword and hast taken his wife to thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. ¹⁰ Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house, because thou hast despised me and taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, to be thy wife.' ¹¹ Thus sayeth the LORD, 'Behold, I will stir up evil against thee even of thine own house and will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, which shall sleep with them in the sight of the sun. ¹² And thou didst it secretly, yet will I do this thing before all Israel and in the open sunlight.'" ¹³ Then said David unto Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said again to David, "The LORD hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. ¹⁴ Howbeit, because in doing this deed thou hast given the enemies of the LORD a cause to rail, the child that is born thee shall die surely." ¹⁵ And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child, that Uriah's wife bare David, and it sickened.

²⁴ And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her and lay with her, and she bare a son whose name was called Solomon, and the LORD loved him. ²⁵ And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jedidiah, of the LORD's behalf.

¹ And it chanced that Absalom, David's son, had a fair sister named Tamar, whom afterward Amnon, another son of David, loved. ² And this Amnon was so vexed that he fell sick for the love of his sister Tamar: for he thought it hard to come by his purpose of her, seeing she was yet a virgin. ³ But Amnon had a companion called Jonadab, the son of Shimeah the brother of David: which Jonadab was a very wise man. ⁴ And he said unto him, "How cometh it that thou, being the king's son, art thus consumed every morning? Mayest thou not tell it me?" And Amnon answered him, "I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister." ⁵ Then said Jonadab unto him, "Lie on thy bed and feign thyself sick. And when thy father is come to see thee, say unto him, 'Let my sister Tamar come and give me meat and dress it in my sight, that I may see it and eat it of her hand." ⁶ And Amnon lay down and made himself sick. And when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto him, "Let Tamar my sister come and make me a couple of fritters in my sight, that I may eat of her hand." ⁷ And David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Go to thy brother Amnon's house and dress him meat. ⁸ When Tamar came to her brother Amnon's house, he lay. And she took flour and made paste and made fritters in his sight and did bake them, ⁹ and took a platter and poured them out before him. And Amnon would not eat, but commanded to have out all men from him. And they went all out from him. ¹⁰ Then said Amnon unto Tamar, "Bring the meat into the chamber that I may eat it of thine hand." And Tamar took the fritters which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother, ¹¹ and set them before him to eat. And he took her and said unto her, "Come, lie with me my sister." ¹² And she answered him, "Nay, my brother, do not force me, for it ought not to be so in Israel. Do not this folly. ¹³ For whither shall I go with my shame? And thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. But speak unto the king, and he shall not deny me unto thee." ¹⁴ Howbeit, he would not hearken unto her voice but was too strong for her and forced her and lay with her. ¹⁵ And then Amnon hated her exceedingly: so that the hate wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he before loved her. And he said unto her, "Up, and away." ¹⁶ Then she said unto him, "This great cruelness, that thou puttest me away, passeth the other that thou didst unto me." Nevertheless he would not hear her, ¹⁷ but called his lad that waited upon him, and said, "Put her out at the doors from me and bolt the door after her." ¹⁸ And she had a kirtle of divers colors upon her: for with such were the king's daughters that were virgins appareled; made strait unto them. Then his servant brought her out at the doors and locked the doors after her. ¹⁹ And Tamar put ashes on her head and rent her gay kirtle that was on her and put her hand on her head and so went, and as she went cried. ²⁰ Then Absalom her brother said unto her, "Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? Now then, be still my sister: for he is thy brother. And let not this thing grieve thine heart." And so Tamar remained discomforted in her brother Absalom's house.

For the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought much Cedar wood to David. ⁵ For David thus thought, "Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD, must exceed in greatness, that it may be spoken of and praised in all lands. I will therefore make ordinance for it." And so David prepared abundance before his death. ⁶ And he called Solomon his son and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.

⁹ Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and did that displeased the LORD.

²⁴ As truly as I live, sayeth the LORD, Though Jechoniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet of my right hand, yet will I pluck him off:

² Then gat up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God at Jerusalem, and with them the Prophets of God which strengthened them.

¹² And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel: Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;

² and came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum and Baanah. This is now the number of the men of the people of Israel:

¹ In the second year of king Darius, in the sixth month, the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the Prophet Haggai, unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel the prince of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jozadak the high priest, saying,

¹² Now when Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jozadak the high priest, with the remnant of the people, heard the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of the Prophet Haggai, like as the LORD their God had sent him, the people did fear the LORD. ¹³ Then Haggai the LORD's messenger said in the LORD's message to the people, "I am with you, sayeth the LORD." ¹⁴ So the LORD waked up the spirit of Zerubbabel the prince of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jozadak the high priest, and the spirit of the remnant of all the people: that they came and laboured, in the house of the LORD of Hosts their God.

² "Speak to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel prince of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jozadak the high priest, and to the residue of the people, and say,

⁴ Nevertheless be of good cheer, O Zerubbabel, sayeth the LORD; be of good comfort, O Joshua thou son of Jozadak, high priest: take good hearts unto you also, all ye people of the land, sayeth the LORD of Hosts,

⁶ He answered, and said unto me, 'This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying: Neither through a host of men, nor through strength, but through my spirit, sayeth the LORD of Hosts. ⁷ What art thou, thou great mountain, before Zerubbabel? Thou must be made even.
