2 Samuel 13:1-22 STRONG

And it came to pass after ^H310 this, that Absalom ^H53 the son ^H1121 of David ^H1732 had a fair ^H3303 sister, ^H269 whose name ^H8034 was Tamar; ^H8559 and Amnon ^H550 the son ^H1121 of David ^H1732 loved ^H157 her. And Amnon ^H550 was so vexed, ^H3334 that he fell sick ^H2470 for his sister ^H269 Tamar; ^H8559 for she was a virgin; ^H1330 and Amnon ^H550 thought ^H5869 it hard ^H6381 for him to do ^H6213 any thing ^H3972 to her. But Amnon ^H550 had a friend, ^H7453 whose name ^H8034 was Jonadab, ^H3122 the son ^H1121 of Shimeah ^H8093 David's ^H1732 brother: ^H251 and Jonadab ^H3122 was a very ^H3966 subtil ^H2450 man. ^H376 And he said ^H559 unto him, Why art thou, being the king's ^H4428 son, ^H1121 lean ^H1800 from day ^H1242 to day? ^H1242 wilt thou not tell ^H5046 me? And Amnon ^H550 said ^H559 unto him, I love ^H157 Tamar, ^H8559 my brother ^H251 Absalom's ^H53 sister. ^H269 And Jonadab ^H3082 said ^H559 unto him, Lay thee down ^H7901 on thy bed, ^H4904 and make thyself sick: ^H2470 and when thy father ^H1 cometh ^H935 to see ^H7200 thee, say ^H559 unto him, I pray thee, let my sister ^H269 Tamar ^H8559 come, ^H935 and give ^H1262 me meat, ^H3899 and dress ^H6213 the meat ^H1279 in my sight, ^H5869 that I may see ^H7200 it, and eat ^H398 it at her hand. ^H3027 So Amnon ^H550 lay down, ^H7901 and made himself sick: ^H2470 and when the king ^H4428 was come ^H935 to see ^H7200 him, Amnon ^H550 said ^H559 unto the king, ^H4428 I pray thee, let Tamar ^H8559 my sister ^H269 come, ^H935 and make ^H3823 me a couple ^H8147 of cakes ^H3834 in my sight, ^H5869 that I may eat ^H1262 at her hand. ^H3027 Then David ^H1732 sent ^H7971 home ^H1004 to Tamar, ^H8559 saying, ^H559 Go ^H3212 now to thy brother ^H251 Amnon's ^H550 house, ^H1004 and dress ^H6213 him meat. ^H1279 So Tamar ^H8559 went ^H3212 to her brother ^H251 Amnon's ^H550 house; ^H1004 and he was laid down. ^H7901 And she took ^H3947 flour, ^H1217 and kneaded ^H3888 it, and made cakes ^H3823 in his sight, ^H5869 and did bake ^H1310 the cakes. ^H3834 And she took ^H3947 a pan, ^H4958 and poured them out ^H3332 before ^H6440 him; but he refused ^H3985 to eat. ^H398 And Amnon ^H550 said, ^H559 Have out ^H3318 all men ^H376 from me. And they went out ^H3318 every man ^H376 from him. And Amnon ^H550 said ^H559 unto Tamar, ^H8559 Bring ^H935 the meat ^H1279 into the chamber, ^H2315 that I may eat ^H1262 of thine hand. ^H3027 And Tamar ^H8559 took ^H3947 the cakes ^H3834 which she had made, ^H6213 and brought ^H935 them into the chamber ^H2315 to Amnon ^H550 her brother. ^H251 And when she had brought ^H5066 them unto him to eat, ^H398 he took hold ^H2388 of her, and said ^H559 unto her, Come ^H935 lie ^H7901 with me, my sister. ^H269 And she answered ^H559 him, Nay, my brother, ^H251 do not force ^H6031 me; for no such thing ought ^H3651 to be done ^H6213 in Israel: ^H3478 do ^H6213 not thou this folly. ^H5039 And I, whither shall I cause my shame ^H2781 to go? ^H3212 and as for thee, thou shalt be as one ^H259 of the fools ^H5036 in Israel. ^H3478 Now therefore, I pray thee, speak ^H1696 unto the king; ^H4428 for he will not withhold ^H4513 me from thee. Howbeit he would ^H14 not hearken ^H8085 unto her voice: ^H6963 but, being stronger ^H2388 than she, forced ^H6031 her, and lay ^H7901 with her. Then Amnon ^H550 hated ^H8130 her exceedingly; ^{H3966 H1419} so that the hatred ^H8135 wherewith he hated ^H8130 her was greater ^H1419 than the love ^H160 wherewith he had loved ^H157 her. And Amnon ^H550 said ^H559 unto her, Arise, ^H6965 be gone. ^H3212 And she said ^H559 unto him, There is no cause: ^H182 this evil ^H7451 in sending me away ^H7971 is greater ^H1419 than the other ^H312 that thou didst ^H6213 unto me. But he would ^H14 not hearken ^H8085 unto her. Then he called ^H7121 his servant ^H5288 that ministered ^H8334 unto him, and said, ^H559 Put ^H7971 now this woman out ^H2351 from me, and bolt ^H5274 the door ^H1817 after ^H310 her. And she had a garment ^H3801 of divers colours ^H6446 upon her: for with such robes ^H4598 were the king's ^H4428 daughters ^H1323 that were virgins ^H1330 apparelled. ^H3847 Then his servant ^H8334 brought ^H3318 her out, ^H2351 and bolted ^H5274 the door ^H1817 after ^H310 her. And Tamar ^H8559 put ^H3947 ashes ^H665 on her head, ^H7218 and rent ^H7167 her garment ^H3801 of divers colours ^H6446 that was on her, and laid ^H7760 her hand ^H3027 on her head, ^H7218 and went ^H3212 on ^H1980 crying. ^H2199 And Absalom ^H53 her brother ^H251 said ^H559 unto her, Hath Amnon ^H550 thy brother ^H251 been with thee? but hold now thy peace, ^H2790 my sister: ^H269 he is thy brother; ^H251 regard ^{H7896 H3820} not this thing. ^H1697 So Tamar ^H8559 remained ^H3427 desolate ^H8074 in her brother ^H251 Absalom's ^H53 house. ^H1004 But when king ^H4428 David ^H1732 heard ^H8085 of all these things, ^H1697 he was very ^H3966 wroth. ^H2734 And Absalom ^H53 spake ^H1696 unto his brother Amnon ^H550 neither good ^H2896 nor bad: ^H7451 for Absalom ^H53 hated ^H8130 Amnon, ^H550 because ^H1697 he had forced ^H6031 his sister ^H269 Tamar. ^H8559
