2: And was so distressedH3334 AmnonH0550 that he became sickH2470 overH5668 Tamar-H8559 his sisterH0269 forH3588 a virgin-H1330 she [was]H1931 and it was improperH6381 thoughtH5869 AmnonH0550 for to doH6213 anything.H3972

3: But Amnon hadH0550 a friend,H7453 and whose name [was]H8034 Jonadab,H3122 the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 brother-H0251 of DavidH1732 and Jonadab [was]H3122 a manH0376 craftyH2450 very.H3966

4: And he saidH0559 why [are]H4069 you,H0859 soH3602 becoming poorerH1800 son,H1121 of the kingH4428 dayH1242 after day?H1242 will notH3808 you tellH5046 and saidH0559 AmnonH0550 -H0853 Tamar,H8559 sister.H0269 Of AbsalomH0053 my brotherH0251 IH0589 love.H0157

5: So saidH0559 JonadabH3082 Lie downH7901 onH5921 your bed,H4904 and pretend to be ill-H2470 and when comesH0935 your fatherH0001 to see youH7200 and sayH0559 to himH0413 let come,H0935 please,H4994 TamarH8559 my sisterH0269 and give meH1262 food,H3899 and prepareH6213 in my sight,H5869 -H0853 the foodH1279 to the end thatH4616 -H0834 I may seeH7200 and eat itH0398 from her hand.H3027

6: And lay down,H7901 AmnonH0550 and pretended to be ill-H2470 and when cameH0935 the kingH4428 to see himH7200 and saidH0559 AmnonH0550 toH0413 the king,H4428 let come,H0935 please,H4994 TamarH8559 my sisterH0269 and make for meH3823 in my sight,H5869 twoH8147 cakesH3834 that I may eatH1262 from her hand.H3027

7: And sentH7971 DavidH1732 toH0413 Tamar,H8559 homeH1004 saying,H0559 goH1980 nowH4994 house,H1004 of AmnonH0550 to your brotherH0251 and prepareH6213 food.H1279

8: So wentH1980 TamarH8559 house-H1004 of AmnonH0550 to her brotherH0251 and heH1931 was lying down.H7901 And she tookH3947 -H0853 flour,H1217 and kneaded [it]H3888 and made cakesH3823 in his sight,H5869 and bakedH1310 -H0853 the cakes.H3834

9: And she tookH3947 -H0853 the pan,H4958 and placed [them] outH3332 before himH6440 but he refusedH3985 to eat.H0398 And said,H0559 AmnonH0550 have go outH3318 allH3605 everyoneH0376 from meH5921 and they went outH3318 allH3605 manH0376 from him.H5921

10: And saidH0559 AmnonH0550 toH0413 Tamar,H8559 bringH0935 the foodH1279 into the bedroom,H2315 that I may eatH1262 from your hand.H3027 And tookH3947 TamarH8559 -H0853 the cakesH3834 whichH0834 she had made,H6213 and brought [them]H0935 to AmnonH0550 her brotherH0251 in the bedroom.H2315

11: And when she had brought [them]H5066 to himH0413 to eat,H0398 and he took holdH2388 and saidH0559 comeH0935 lieH7901 with meH5973 my sister.H0269

12: And she answeredH0559 No,H0408 my brother,H0251 notH0408 do force meH6031 forH3588 noH3808 should be doneH6213 such thingH3651 in Israel-H3478 do notH0408 doH6213 -H0853 disgraceful thingH5039 this.H2063

13: And I,H0589 whereH0575 could I take?H1980 -H0853 my shameH2781 and as for you,H0859 you would beH1961 like oneH0259 of the foolsH5036 in Israel.H3478 Therefore nowH6258 speakH1696 please,H4994 toH0413 the king-H4428 forH3588 notH3808 he will withhold meH4513 from you.H4480

14: And However notH3808 he wouldH0014 heedH8085 her voice-H6963 and being strongerH2388 than sheH4480 and he forced herH6031 and lay withH7901 her.H0854

15: And hated herH8130 AmnonH0550 exceedingly-H8135 greaterH1419 exceedinglyH3966 so thatH3588 greaterH1419 the hatred [was]H8135 with whichH0834 he hated herH8130 than the loveH0160 with whichH0834 he had loved herH0157 and saidH0559 AmnonH0550 Arise,H6965 be gone.H1980

16: So she saidH0559 notH0408 because-H0182 of evilH7451 greatH1419 thisH2063 [is worse] than the otherH0312 thatH0834 you didH6213 to meH5973 of sending me awayH7971 but notH3808 he wouldH0014 listenH8085

17: And he calledH7121 -H0853 his servantH5288 who attended himH8334 and said,H0559 Put outH7971 HereH4994 -H0853 this [woman]H2063 away from meH5921 outH2351 and boltH5274 the doorH1817 behind her.H0310

18: Now she had onH5921 a robeH3801 of many colorsH6446 forH3588 suchH3651 wore.H3847 DaughtersH1323 of the kingH4428 virginH1330 apparelH4598 and putH3318 herH0853 his servantH8334 out,H2351 and boltedH5274 the doorH1817 behind her.H0310

19: And putH3947 TamarH8559 ashesH0665 onH5921 her head,H7218 and her robeH3801 of many colorsH6446 that [was]H0834 on herH5921 toreH7167 and laidH7760 her handH3027 onH5921 her head,H7218 and wentH1980 awayH1980 and crying bitterly.H2199

20: And saidH0559 to herH0413 AbsalomH0053 her brotherH0251 AmnonH0550 your brotherH0251 Has beenH1961 with youH5973 but nowH6258 my sister,H0269 hold your peaceH2790 your brother-H0251 He [is]H1931 do notH0408 takeH7896 -H0853 to heartH3820 thing.H1697 ThisH2088 so remainedH3427 TamarH8559 and desolateH8076 in houseH1004 of AbsalomH0053 her brother.H0251

21: But when KingH4428 DavidH1732 heardH8085 ofH0853 allH3605 things,H1697 theseH0428 and was angryH2734 very.H3966

22: And neitherH3808 spokeH1696 AbsalomH0053 toH5973 [his brother] AmnonH0550 bad-H7451 norH5704 goodH2896 forH3588 hatedH8130 AbsalomH0053 -H0853 Amnon,H0550 uponH5921 becauseH1697 thatH0834 he had forcedH6031 -H0853 TamarH8559 his sister.H0269

23: And it came to passH1961 after twoH8141 full years,H3117 that hadH1961 sheepshearersH1494 AbsalomH0053 Baal Hazor,H1178 which [is]H0834 nearH5973 Ephraim,H0669 so invitedH7121 AbsalomH0053 allH3605 sonsH1121 of the king.H4428

24: And cameH0935 AbsalomH0053 toH0413 the king,H4428 and said,H0559 BeholdH2009 now,H4994 has sheepshearers-H1494 your servantH5650 let goH1980 please,H4994 the king,H4428 and his servantsH5650 withH5973 your servant.H5650

25: But saidH0559 the kingH4428 toH0413 Absalom,H0053 No,H0408 my son,H1121 notH0408 nowH4994 let us go,H1980 allH3605 and lestH3808 we be a burdenH3513 to youH5921 and he urgedH6555 but notH3808 he wouldH0014 go,H1980 and he blessed him.H1288

26: And saidH0559 Absalom,H0053 and if not,H3808 let goH1980 please,H4994 with usH0854 AmnonH0550 my brotherH0251 and saidH0559 the kingH4428 whyH4100 should he goH1980 with you.H5973

27: But urgedH6555 AbsalomH0053 so he let goH7971 with himH0854 -H0853 AmnonH0550 andH0853 allH3605 sonsH1121 of the king.H4428

28: And had commandedH6680 AbsalomH0053 -H0853 his servants,H5288 saying,H0559 WatchH7200 nowH4994 when is merryH2896 heartH3820 of AmnonH0550 with wine,H3196 and when I sayH0559 to youH0413 StrikeH5221 -H0853 Amnon-H0550 then killH4191 himH0853 not-H0408 do be afraidH3372 notH3808 haveH3588 IH0595 commandedH6680 youH0853 Be courageous,H2388 andH1961 valiantH1121 valiant.H2428

29: So didH6213 the servantsH5288 of AbsalomH0053 to AmnonH0550 asH0834 had commanded.H6680 AbsalomH0053 and arose,H6965 allH3605 sonsH1121 of the kingH4428 and gotH7392 each oneH0376 onH5921 his mule,H6505 and fled.H5127

30: And while it came to pass,H1961 they [were]H1992 on the way,H1870 that newsH8052 cameH0935 toH0413 David,H1732 saying,H0559 has killedH5221 AbsalomH0053 -H0853 allH3605 sons,H1121 of the kingH4428 and notH3808 is left.H3498 Of themH1992 one.H0259

31: So arose,H6965 the kingH4428 and toreH7167 -H0853 his garments,H0899 and layH7901 on the ground-H0776 and allH3605 his servantsH5650 stood byH5324 tornH7167 with their clothes.H0899

32: And answeredH6030 Jonadab,H3122 the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 brother,H0251 of DavidH1732 and said,H0559 notH0408 let supposeH0559 my lordH0113 -H0853 allH3605 the young menH5288 sons-H1121 of the kingH4428 they have killedH4191 forH3588 AmnonH0550 onlyH0905 is dead-H4191 forH3588 byH5921 the commandH6310 of AbsalomH0053 this has beenH1961 determinedH7760 from the dayH3117 that he forcedH6031 -H0853 TamarH8559 his sister.H0269

33: Therefore nowH6258 notH0408 let takeH7760 my lordH0113 the kingH4428 toH0413 his heart,H3820 the thingH1697 to think thatH0559 allH3605 sonsH1121 of the kingH4428 are dead-H4191 forH3588 -H0518 AmnonH0550 onlyH0905 is dead.H4191

34: And fled.H1272 AbsalomH0053 and liftedH5375 the young manH5288 who was keeping watchH6822 -H0853 his eyes,H5869 and looked,H7200 and there,H2009 peopleH5971 manyH7227 were comingH1980 from the roadH1870 behind himH0310 onH6654 the hillside.H2022

35: And saidH0559 JonadabH3122 toH0413 the king,H4428 Look,H2009 sonsH1121 of the kingH4428 are coming-H0935 as said,H1697 your servantH5650 soH3651 it is.H1961

36: So it was,H1961 as soon as he had finishedH3615 speaking,H1696 that indeed,H2009 sonsH1121 of the kingH4428 came,H0935 and they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963 and wept-H1058 andH1571 the kingH4428 and allH3605 his servantsH5650 weptH1058 overflowingH1065 bitterlyH1419 very.H3966

37: But AbsalomH0053 fled,H1272 and wentH1980 toH0413 Talmai,H8526 the son ofH1121 AmmihudH5991 kingH4428 of Geshur.H1650 And [David] mournedH0056 forH5921 his sonH1121 everyH3605 day.H3117

38: So AbsalomH0053 fled,H1272 and wentH1980 to Geshur,H1650 and wasH1961 thereH8033 threeH7969 years.H8141

39: And longedH3615 DavidH1732 KingH4428 to goH3318 toH0413 Absalom-H0053 forH3588 he had been comfortedH5162 concerningH5921 Amnon,H0550 becauseH3588 he was dead.H4191
