Now these H428 were the sons H1121 of David, H1732 which H834 were born H3205 to him in Hebron; H2275 the firstborn H1060 Amnon, H550 of Ahinoam H293 the Jezreelitess; H3159 the second H8145 Daniel, H1840 of Abigail H26 the Carmelitess: H3762

The fifth, H2549 Shephatiah H8203 of Abital: H37 the sixth, H8345 Ithream H3507 by Eglah H5698 his wife. H802

And it came H1961 to pass after H310 this, H3651 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.

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 subtle H2450 man. H376

And Jonadab H3122 said H559 to him, Lay H7901 you down H7901 on H5921 your bed, H4904 and make yourself sick: H2470 and when your father H1 comes H935 to see H7200 you, say H559 to him, I pray H4994 you, 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

Then David H1732 sent H7971 home H1004 to Tamar, H8559 saying, H559 Go H3212 now H4994 to your brother H251 Amnon's H550 house, H1004 and dress H6213 him meat. H1279

And she took H3947 a pan, H4958 and poured H3332 them out before H6440 him; but he refused H3985 to eat. H398 And Amnon H550 said, H559 Have H3318 out all H3605 men H376 from me. And they went H3318 out every man H376 from him.

And when she had brought H5066 them to him to eat, H398 he took hold H2388 of her, and said H559 to her, Come H935 lie H7901 with me, my sister. H269

And I, where H575 shall I cause my shame H2781 to go? H3212 and as for you, you shall be as one H259 of the fools H5036 in Israel. H3478 Now H6258 therefore, I pray H4994 you, speak H1696 to the king; H4428 for he will not withhold H4513 me from you.

Then Amnon H550 hated H8130 her exceedingly; H1419 H3966 so that the hatred H8135 with which H834 he hated H8130 her was greater H1419 than the love H160 with which H834 he had loved H157 her. And Amnon H550 said H559 to her, Arise, H6965 be gone. H3212

Then he called H7121 his servant H5288 that ministered H8334 to him, and said, H559 Put H7971 now H4994 this H2063 woman out from me, and bolt H5274 the door H1817 after H310 her.

And Tamar H8559 put H3947 ashes H665 on H5921 her head, H7218 and rent H7167 her garment H3801 of divers H6446 colors H6446 that was on H5921 her, and laid H7760 her hand H3027 on H5921 her head, H7218 and went H3212 on crying. H2201

But when king H4428 David H1732 heard H8085 of all H3605 these H428 things, H1697 he was very H3966 wroth. H2734

And it came H1961 to pass after two full H3117 years, H8141 that Absalom H53 had sheep shearers H1494 in Baalhazor, H1178 which H834 is beside H5973 Ephraim: H669 and Absalom H53 invited H7121 all H3605 the king's H4428 sons. H1121

And the king H4428 said H559 to Absalom, H53 No, H408 my son, H1121 let us not all H3605 now H4994 go, H3212 lest H3808 we be chargeable H3513 to you. And he pressed H6555 him: however, he would H14 not go, H3212 but blessed H1288 him.

But Absalom H53 pressed H6555 him, that he let Amnon H550 and all H3605 the king's H4428 sons H1121 go H7971 with him.

And the servants H5288 of Absalom H53 did H6213 to Amnon H550 as Absalom H53 had commanded. H6680 Then all H3605 the king's H4428 sons H1121 arose, H6965 and every man H376 got H7392 him up on his mule, H6505 and fled. H5127

Reuben, H7205 you are my firstborn, H1060 my might, H3581 and the beginning H7225 of my strength, H202 the excellency H3499 of dignity, H7613 and the excellency H3499 of power: H5794

Unstable H6349 as water, H4325 you shall not excel; H3498 because H3588 you went H5927 up to your father's H1 bed; H4904 then H227 defiled H2490 you it: he went H5927 up to my couch. H3326

David H1732 also took H3947 Ahinoam H293 of Jezreel; H3157 and they were also both H8147 of them his wives. H802
