13 And it happened after this that to Absalom, the son of David, was a beautiful sister, and her name was Tamar, and Amnon, the son of David, loved her.
2 And it narrowed to Amnon, so that he made himself sick over Tamar his sister. For she was a virgin, so it was difficult in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.
3 Now to Amnon was a friend, and his name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah the brother of David. And Jonadab was a very cunning man. 4 And he said to him, “Why are you so weak, son of the king, by morning, by morning? Will you not declare to me?”
And Amnon said to him, “I am loving Tamar, the sister of Absalom my brother.”
5 And Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be sick. And your father will come to see you, and you shall say to him, ‘Please let Tamar my sister come and let her serve me bread, and let her make the food to my eyes so that I may see, and I will eat from her hand.’ ”
6 So Amnon lay down, and he pretended to be sick. And the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, “Please let Tamar my sister come, and let her make to my eyes a couple of pancakes, and I will eat from her hand.”
7 So David sent to Tamar at the house, saying, “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and make food for him.” 8 So Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, and he was lying down. And she took the dough, and she kneaded it, and she made pancakes to his eyes, and she cooked the pancakes. 9 And she took the pan, and she poured them out to his face, but he refused to eat.
And Amnon said, “Make every man go out from me.” So every man went out from him.
10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food to the bedroom, and I will eat from your hand.” So Tamar took the pancakes that she had made and brought them into the bedroom to Amnon her brother. 11 And she brought them near to him to eat, and he seized her, and he said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”
12 And she said to him, “No, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done thus in Israel. Do not do this wickedness! 13 And I, where would I bring my shame? And you, you would be like one of the wicked ones in Israel. And now, please, speak to the king, for he would not withhold me from you.” 14 But he was not willing to listen to her voice. And he was stronger than she, and he humbled her, and he lay with her.
15 Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, go.”
16 But she said to him, “No, because this great evil, to send me away, than the other that you did to me.”
But he was not willing to listen to her. 17 And he called his young man, the one attending him, and he said, “Now send this one away from me outside, and lock the door behind her.” 18 Now a long robe was on her, for thus the virgin daughters of the king dressed in garments. And the one attending him brought her outside, and he locked the door behind her. 19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and she tore the long robe that was on her, and she put her hand on her head, and she went, going and she cried out.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? And now, my sister, keep silent, he is your brother. Do not set your heart to this matter.” And Tamar dwelled and was desolate in the house of Absalom her brother.
21 And King David heard all of these things, and it burned to him greatly. 22 But Absalom did not speak with Amnon to evil or to good, for Absalom hated Amnon for the reason that he had humbled Tamar his sister.
23 And it happened after two years of days that shearers were to Absalom in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim. And Absalom called to all of the sons of the king. 24 And Absalom went to the king, and he said, “Behold, please, shearers are to your servant. May the king and his servants please go with your servant.”
25 And the king said to Absalom, “No, my son, please let not all of us go, and let us not be heavy to you.” Then he urged him, but he was not willing to go, but he blessed him.
26 And Absalom said, “If not, may Amnon my brother please go with us.”
And the king said to him, “Why should he go with you?” 27 But Absalom urged him, so he sent Amnon and all of the sons of the king with him.
28 And Absalom commanded his young men, saying, “See, now, when Amnon is good of heart with wine, and I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon!’ then you shall kill him. Do not fear. Is it not that I, I have commanded you? Be courageous and be sons of valor.” 29 And the young men of Absalom did to Amnon just as Absalom had commanded. And all of the sons of the king arose, and they rode, a man on his mule, and they fled.
30 And it happened, they were on the road, and the report came to David, saying, “Absalom has struck all of the sons of the king, and not one of them is left.” 31 And the king arose, and he tore his clothes, and he lay on the ground, and all of his servants were standing, torn of clothes.
32 But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah the brother of David, answered and said, “May my lord not say, ‘All of the young men, the sons of the king, have been killed,’ for Amnon alone has died. For it was placed on the mouth of Absalom from the day of his humbling Tamar his sister. 33 And now, may my lord the king not put the matter to his heart, saying, ‘All of the sons of the king have died,’ for only Amnon has died.”
34 (Now Absalom had fled.) And the young man watching lifted his eyes, and he saw, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him, from the side of the mountain.
35 And Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the sons of the king are coming. As your servant spoke, thus it is.”
36 And it happened, as he finished speaking, that behold, the sons of the king came, and they lifted up their voice and wept. And the king and all of his servants also wept a very great weeping.
37 But Absalom fled, and he went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son all of the days.
38 And Absalom fled, and he went to Geshur, and he was there three years. 39 And it ceased, David the king to go out against Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, that he had died.
