V.1 And it came to pass after 310 this, that Absalom 53 the son 1121 of David 1732 had a fair 3303 sister, 269 whose name 8034 [was] Tamar; 8559 and Amnon 550 the son 1121 of David 1732 loved 157-4 her.

13:2 And Amnon 550 was so vexed, 3334-4 that he fell sick 2470-99 for his sister 269 Tamar; 8559 for she [was] a virgin; 1330 and Amnon 550 thought 5869 it hard 6381-11 for him to do 6213-2 any thing 3972 to her.

13:3 But Amnon 550 had a friend, 7453 whose name 8034 [was] Jonadab, 3122 the son 1121 of Shimeah 8093 David's 1732 brother: 251 and Jonadab 3122 [was] a very 3966 subtil 2450 man. 376

13:4 And he said 559-4 unto him, Why [art] thou, [being] the king's 4428 son, 1121 lean 1800 from day 1242 to day? 1242 wilt thou not tell 5046-55 me? And Amnon 550 said 559-4 unto him, I love 157-6 Tamar, 8559 my brother 251 Absalom's 53 sister. 269

13:5 And Jonadab 3082 said 559-4 unto him, Lay thee down 7901-3 on thy bed, 4904 and make thyself sick: 2470-100 and when thy father 1 cometh 935-1 to see 7200-2 thee, say 559-1 unto him, I pray thee, let my sister 269 Tamar 8559 come, 935-4 and give 1262-55 me meat, 3899 and dress 6213-1 the meat 1279 in my sight, 5869 that I may see 7200-4 [it], and eat 398-1 [it] at her hand. 3027

13:6 So Amnon 550 lay down, 7901-4 and made himself sick: 2470-101 and when the king 4428 was come 935-4 to see 7200-2 him, Amnon 550 said 559-4 unto the king, 4428 I pray thee, let Tamar 8559 my sister 269 come, 935-4 and make 3823-17 me a couple 8147 of cakes 3834 in my sight, 5869 that I may eat 1262-4 at her hand. 3027

13:7 Then David 1732 sent 7971-4 home 1004 to Tamar, 8559 saying, 559-2 Go 3212-3 now to thy brother 251 Amnon's 550 house, 1004 and dress 6213-3 him meat. 1279

13:8 So Tamar 8559 went 3212-4 to her brother 251 Amnon's 550 house; 1004 and he was laid down. 7901-6 And she took 3947-4 flour, 1217 and kneaded 3888-4 [it], and made cakes 3823-17 in his sight, 5869 and did bake 1310-17 the cakes. 3834

13:9 And she took 3947-4 a pan, 4958 and poured 3332-4 [them] out before 6440 him; but he refused 3985-17 to eat. 398-2 And Amnon 550 said, 559-4 Have out 3318-54 all men 376 from me. And they went out 3318-4 every man 376 from him.

13:10 And Amnon 550 said 559-4 unto Tamar, 8559 Bring 935-54 the meat 1279 into the chamber, 2315 that I may eat 1262-4 of thine hand. 3027 And Tamar 8559 took 3947-4 the cakes 3834 which she had made, 6213-1 and brought 935-55 [them] into the chamber 2315 to Amnon 550 her brother. 251

13:11 And when she had brought 5066-55 [them] unto him to eat, 398-2 he took hold 2388-55 of her, and said 559-4 unto her, Come 935-3 lie 7901-3 with me, my sister. 269

13:12 And she answered 559-4 him, Nay, my brother, 251 do not force 6031-17 me; for no such thing 3651 ought to be done 6213-11 in Israel: 3478 do 6213-4 not thou this folly. 5039

13:13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame 2781 to go? 3212- 55 and as for thee, thou shalt be as one 259 of the fools 5036 in Israel. 3478 Now therefore, I pray thee, speak 1696- 16 unto the king; 4428 for he will not withhold 4513-4 me from thee.

13:14 Howbeit he would 14-1 not hearken 8085-2 unto her voice: 6963 but, being stronger 2388-4 than she, forced 6031- 17 her, and lay 7901-4 with her.

13:15 Then Amnon 550 hated 8130-4 her exceedingly; 3966 1419 so that the hatred 8135 wherewith he hated 8130-1 her [was] greater 1419 than the love 160 wherewith he had loved 157-1 her. And Amnon 550 said 559-4 unto her, Arise, 6965-3 be gone. 3212-3

13:16 And she said 559-4 unto him, [There is] no cause: 182 this evil 7451 in sending me away 7971-15 [is] greater 1419 than the other 312 that thou didst 6213-1 unto me. But he would 14-1 not hearken 8085-2 unto her.

13:17 Then he called 7121-4 his servant 5288 that ministered 8334-18 unto him, and said, 559-4 Put 7971-3 now this [woman] out 2351 from me, and bolt 5274-3 the door 1817 after 310 her.

13:18 And [she had] a garment 3801 of divers colours 6446 upon her: for with such robes 4598 were the king's 4428 daughters 1323 [that were] virgins 1330 apparelled. 3847-4 Then his servant 8334-18 brought 3318-55 her out, 2351 and bolted 5274-1 the door 1817 after 310 her.

13:19 And Tamar 8559 put 3947-4 ashes 665 on her head, 7218 and rent 7167-1 her garment 3801 of divers colours 6446 that [was] on her, and laid 7760-4 her hand 3027 on her head, 7218 and went 3212-4 on 1980-2 crying. 2199-1

13:20 And Absalom 53 her brother 251 said 559-4 unto her, Hath Amnon 550 thy brother 251 been with thee? but hold now thy peace, 2790-54 my sister: 269 he [is] thy brother; 251 regard 7896-4 3820 not this thing. 1697 So Tamar 8559 remained 3427-4 desolate 8074-6 in her brother 251 Absalom's 53 house. 1004

13:21 But when king 4428 David 1732 heard 8085-1 of all these things, 1697 he was very 3966 wroth. 2734-4

13:22 And Absalom 53 spake 1696-14 unto his brother Amnon 550 neither good 2896 nor bad: 7451 for Absalom 53 hated 8130-1 Amnon, 550 because 1697 he had forced 6031-14 his sister 269 Tamar. 8559

13:23 And it came to pass after two full 3117 years, 8141 that Absalom 53 had sheepshearers 1494-6 in Baalhazor, 1178 which [is] beside Ephraim: 669 and Absalom 53 invited 7121-4 all the king's 4428 sons. 1121

13:24 And Absalom 53 came 935-4 to the king, 4428 and said, 559-4 Behold now, thy servant 5650 hath sheepshearers; 1494-6 let the king, 4428 I beseech thee, and his servants 5650 go 3212-4 with thy servant. 5650

13:25 And the king 4428 said 559-4 to Absalom, 53 Nay, my son, 1121 let us not all now go, 3212-4 lest we be chargeable 3513-4 unto thee. And he pressed 6555-4 him: howbeit he would 14-1 not go, 3212-2 but blessed 1288-17 him.

13:26 Then said 559-4 Absalom, 53 If not, I pray thee, let my brother 251 Amnon 550 go 3212-4 with us. And the king 4428 said 559-4 unto him, Why should he go 3212-4 with thee?

13:27 But Absalom 53 pressed 6555-4 him, that he let Amnon 550 and all the king's 4428 sons 1121 go 7971-4 with him.

13:28 Now Absalom 53 had commanded 6680-17 his servants, 5288 saying, 559-2 Mark 7200-3 ye now when Amnon's 550 heart 3820 is merry 2896 with wine, 3196 and when I say 559-1 unto you, Smite 5221-54 Amnon; 550 then kill 4191-52 him, fear 3372-4 not: have not I commanded 6680-14 you? be courageous, 2388-3 and be valiant. 1121 2428

13:29 And the servants 5288 of Absalom 53 did 6213-4 unto Amnon 550 as Absalom 53 had commanded. 6680-14 Then all the king's 4428 sons 1121 arose, 6965-4 and every man 376 gat him up 7392-4 upon his mule, 6505 and fled. 5127-4

13:30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, 1870 that tidings 8052 came 935-1 to David, 1732 saying, 559-2 Absalom 53 hath slain 5221-52 all the king's 4428 sons, 1121 and there is not one 259 of them left. 3498-8

13:31 Then the king 4428 arose, 6965-4 and tare 7167-4 his garments, 899 and lay 7901-4 on the earth; 776 and all his servants 5650 stood 5324-12 by with their clothes 899 rent. 7167-7

13:32 And Jonadab, 3122 the son 1121 of Shimeah 8093 David's 1732 brother, 251 answered 6030-4 and said, 559-4 Let not my lord 113 suppose 559-4 [that] they have slain 4191-52 all the young men 5288 the king's 4428 sons; 1121 for Amnon 550 only is dead: 4191-1 for by the appointment 6310 of Absalom 53 this hath been determined 7760-7 from the day 3117 that he forced 6031-15 his sister 269 Tamar. 8559

13:33 Now therefore let not my lord 113 the king 4428 take 7760-4 the thing 1697 to his heart, 3820 to think 559-2 that all the king's 4428 sons 1121 are dead: 4191-1 for Amnon 550 only is dead. 4191-1

13:34 But Absalom 53 fled. 1272-4 And the young man 5288 that kept the watch 6822-6 lifted up 5375-4 his eyes, 5869 and looked, 7200-4 and, behold, there came 1980-6 much 7227 people 5971 by the way 1870 of the hill 2022 side 6654 behind 310 him.

13:35 And Jonadab 3122 said 559-4 unto the king, 4428 Behold, the king's 4428 sons 1121 come: 935-1 as thy servant 5650 said, 1697 so it is.

13:36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end 3615-15 of speaking, 1696-15 that, behold, the king's 4428 sons 1121 came, 935-1 and lifted up 5375-4 their voice 6963 and wept: 1058-4 and the king 4428 also and all his servants 5650 wept 1058-1 very 3966 sore. 1065 1419

13:37 But Absalom 53 fled, 1272-1 and went 3212-4 to Talmai, 8526 the son 1121 of Ammihud, 5991|5989-k king 4428 of Geshur. 1650 And [David] mourned 56-101 for his son 1121 every day. 3117

13:38 So Absalom 53 fled, 1272-1 and went 3212-4 to Geshur, 1650 and was there three 7969 years. 8141
