| [1]And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. |
[1]And it came to pass afterH310 this, that AbsalomH53 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 had a fairH3303 sisterH269, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559; and AmnonH550 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 lovedH157 herH8799. |
| [2]And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her. |
[2]And AmnonH550 was so vexedH3334[H8799], that he fell sickH2470[H8692] for his sisterH269 TamarH8559; for she was a virginH1330; and AmnonH550 thoughtH5869 it hardH6381[H8735] for him to doH6213[H8800] any thing to herH3972. |
| [3]But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. |
[3]But AmnonH550 had a friendH7453, whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 David'sH1732 brotherH251: and JonadabH3122 was a veryH3966 subtilH2450 manH376. |
| [4]And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. |
[4]And he saidH559[H8799] unto him, Why art thou, being the king'sH4428 sonH1121, leanH1800 from dayH1242 to dayH1242? wilt thou not tellH5046[H8686] me? And AmnonH550 saidH559[H8799] unto him, I loveH157[H8802] TamarH8559, my brotherH251 Absalom'sH53 sisterH269. |
| [5]And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand. |
[5]And JonadabH3082 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Lay thee downH7901[H8798] on thy bedH4904, and make thyself sickH2470[H8690]: and when thy fatherH1 comethH935[H8804] to seeH7200[H8800] thee, sayH559[H8804] unto him, I pray thee, let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935[H8799], and giveH1262[H8686] me meatH3899, and dressH6213[H8804] the meatH1279 in my sightH5869, that I may seeH7200[H8799] it, and eatH398[H8804] it at her handH3027. |
| [6]So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand. |
[6]So AmnonH550 lay downH7901[H8799], and made himself sickH2470[H8691]: and when the kingH4428 was comeH935[H8799] to seeH7200[H8800] him, AmnonH550 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, I pray thee, let TamarH8559 my sisterH269 comeH935[H8799], and makeH3823[H8762] me a coupleH8147 of cakesH3834 in my sightH5869, that I may eatH1262[H8799] at her handH3027. |
| [7]Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat. |
[7]Then DavidH1732 sentH7971[H8799] homeH1004 to TamarH8559, sayingH559[H8800], GoH3212[H8798] now to thy brotherH251 Amnon'sH550 houseH1004, and dressH6213[H8798] him meatH1279. |
| [8]So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. |
[8]So TamarH8559 wentH3212[H8799] to her brotherH251 Amnon'sH550 houseH1004; and he was laid downH7901[H8802]. And she tookH3947[H8799] flourH1217, and kneadedH3888[H8799] it, and made cakesH3823[H8762] in his sightH5869, and did bakeH1310[H8762] the cakesH3834. |
| [9]And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him. |
[9]And she tookH3947[H8799] a panH4958, and poured them outH3332[H8799] beforeH6440 him; but he refusedH3985[H8762] to eatH398[H8800]. And AmnonH550 saidH559[H8799], Have outH3318[H8685] all menH376 from me. And they went outH3318[H8799] every man from himH376. |
| [10]And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. |
[10]And AmnonH550 saidH559[H8799] unto TamarH8559, BringH935[H8685] the meatH1279 into the chamberH2315, that I may eatH1262[H8799] of thine handH3027. And TamarH8559 tookH3947[H8799] the cakesH3834 which she had madeH6213[H8804], and broughtH935[H8686] them into the chamberH2315 to AmnonH550 her brotherH251. |
| [11]And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister. |
[11]And when she had broughtH5066[H8686] them unto him to eatH398[H8800], he took holdH2388[H8686] of her, and saidH559[H8799] unto her, ComeH935[H8798] lieH7901[H8798] with me, my sisterH269. |
| [12]And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly. |
[12]And she answeredH559[H8799] him, Nay, my brotherH251, do not forceH6031[H8762] me; for no such thing oughtH3651 to be doneH6213[H8735] in IsraelH3478: doH6213[H8799] not thou this follyH5039. |
| [13]And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee. |
[13]And I, whither shall I cause my shameH2781 to goH3212[H8686]? and as for thee, thou shalt be as oneH259 of the foolsH5036 in IsraelH3478. Now therefore, I pray thee, speakH1696[H8761] unto the kingH4428; for he will not withholdH4513 me from theeH8799. |
| [14]Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. |
[14]Howbeit he wouldH14[H8804] not hearkenH8085[H8800] unto her voiceH6963: but, being strongerH2388[H8799] than she, forcedH6031[H8762] her, and layH7901 with herH8799. |
| [15]Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. |
[15]Then AmnonH550 hatedH8130[H8799] her exceedinglyH3966[H1419]; so that the hatredH8135 wherewith he hatedH8130[H8804] her was greaterH1419 than the loveH160 wherewith he had lovedH157[H8804] her. And AmnonH550 saidH559[H8799] unto her, AriseH6965[H8798], be goneH3212.[H8798] |
| [16]And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. |
[16]And she saidH559[H8799] unto him, There is no causeH182: this evilH7451 in sending me awayH7971[H8763] is greaterH1419 than the otherH312 that thou didstH6213[H8804] unto me. But he wouldH14[H8804] not hearkenH8085 unto herH8800. |
| [17]Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. |
[17]Then he calledH7121[H8799] his servantH5288 that ministeredH8334[H8764] unto him, and saidH559[H8799], PutH7971[H8798] now this woman outH2351 from me, and boltH5274[H8798] the doorH1817 after herH310. |
| [18]And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. |
[18]And she had a garmentH3801 of divers coloursH6446 upon her: for with such robesH4598 were the king'sH4428 daughtersH1323 that were virginsH1330 apparelledH3847[H8799]. Then his servantH8334[H8764] broughtH3318[H8686] her outH2351, and boltedH5274[H8804] the doorH1817 after herH310. |
| [19]And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying. |
[19]And TamarH8559 putH3947[H8799] ashesH665 on her headH7218, and rentH7167[H8804] her garmentH3801 of divers coloursH6446 that was on her, and laidH7760[H8799] her handH3027 on her headH7218, and wentH3212[H8799] onH1980[H8800] cryingH2199.[H8804] |
| [20]And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house. |
[20]And AbsalomH53 her brotherH251 saidH559[H8799] unto her, Hath AmnonH550 thy brotherH251 been with thee? but hold now thy peaceH2790[H8685], my sisterH269: he is thy brotherH251; regardH7896[H8799][H3820] not this thingH1697. So TamarH8559 remainedH3427[H8799] desolateH8074[H8802] in her brotherH251 Absalom'sH53 houseH1004. |
| [21]But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth. |
[21]But when kingH4428 DavidH1732 heardH8085[H8804] of all these thingsH1697, he was veryH3966 wrothH2734.[H8799] |
| [22]And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. |
[22]And AbsalomH53 spakeH1696[H8765] unto his brother AmnonH550 neither goodH2896 nor badH7451: for AbsalomH53 hatedH8130[H8804] AmnonH550, becauseH1697 he had forcedH6031[H8765] his sisterH269 TamarH8559. |
| [23]And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons. |
[23]And it came to pass after two fullH3117 yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 had sheepshearersH1494[H8802] in BaalhazorH1178, which is beside EphraimH669: and AbsalomH53 invitedH7121[H8799] all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121. |
| [24]And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. |
[24]And AbsalomH53 cameH935[H8799] to the kingH4428, and saidH559[H8799], Behold now, thy servantH5650 hath sheepshearersH1494[H8802]; letH3212 the kingH4428, I beseech thee, and his servantsH5650 goH3212[H8799] with thy servantH5650. |
| [25]And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. |
[25]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] to AbsalomH53, Nay, my sonH1121, let us not all now goH3212[H8799], lest we be chargeableH3513[H8799] unto thee. And he pressedH6555[H8799] him: howbeit he wouldH14[H8804] not goH3212[H8800], but blessedH1288 himH8762. |
| [26]Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee? |
[26]Then saidH559[H8799] AbsalomH53, If not, I pray thee, let my brotherH251 AmnonH550 goH3212[H8799] with us. And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Why should he goH3212 with theeH8799? |
| [27]But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. |
[27]But AbsalomH53 pressedH6555[H8799] him, that he let AmnonH550 and all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 goH7971 with himH8799. |
| [28]Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. |
[28]Now AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680[H8762] his servantsH5288, sayingH559[H8800], MarkH7200[H8798] ye now when Amnon'sH550 heartH3820 is merryH2896 with wineH3196, and when I sayH559[H8804] unto you, SmiteH5221[H8685] AmnonH550; then killH4191[H8689] him, fearH3372[H8799] not: have not I commandedH6680[H8765] you? be courageousH2388[H8798], and be valiantH1121.[H2428] |
| [29]And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled. |
[29]And the servantsH5288 of AbsalomH53 didH6213[H8799] unto AmnonH550 as AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680[H8765]. Then all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 aroseH6965[H8799], and every manH376 gat him upH7392[H8799] upon his muleH6505, and fledH5127.[H8799] |
| [30]And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left. |
[30]And it came to pass, while they were in the wayH1870, that tidingsH8052 cameH935[H8804] to DavidH1732, sayingH559[H8800], AbsalomH53 hath slainH5221[H8689] all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and there is not oneH259 of them leftH3498.[H8738] |
| [31]Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. |
[31]Then the kingH4428 aroseH6965[H8799], and tareH7167[H8799] his garmentsH899, and layH7901[H8799] on the earthH776; and all his servantsH5650 stoodH5324[H8737] by with their clothesH899 rentH7167.[H8803] |
| [32]And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. |
[32]And JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 David'sH1732 brotherH251, answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], Let not my lordH113 supposeH559[H8799] that they have slainH4191[H8689] all the young menH5288 the king'sH4428 sonsH1121; for AmnonH550 only is deadH4191[H8804]: for by the appointmentH6310 of AbsalomH53 this hath been determinedH7760[H8803] from the dayH3117 that he forcedH6031[H8763] his sisterH269 TamarH8559. |
| [33]Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead. |
[33]Now therefore let not my lordH113 the kingH4428 takeH7760[H8799] the thingH1697 to his heartH3820, to thinkH559[H8800] that all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 are deadH4191[H8804]: for AmnonH550 only is deadH4191.[H8804] |
| [34]But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him. |
[34]But AbsalomH53 fledH1272[H8799]. And the young manH5288 that kept the watchH6822[H8802] lifted upH5375[H8799] his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200[H8799], and, behold, there cameH1980[H8802] muchH7227 peopleH5971 by the wayH1870 of the hillH2022 sideH6654 behind himH310. |
| [35]And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is. |
[35]And JonadabH3122 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, Behold, the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 comeH935[H8804]: as thy servantH5650 said, so it isH1697. |
| [36]And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore. |
[36]And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an endH3615[H8763] of speakingH1696[H8763], that, behold, the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 cameH935[H8804], and lifted upH5375[H8799] their voiceH6963 and weptH1058[H8799]: and the kingH4428 also and all his servantsH5650 weptH1058[H8804] veryH3966 soreH1065.[H1419] |
| [37]But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. |
[37]But AbsalomH53 fledH1272[H8804], and wentH3212[H8799] to TalmaiH8526, the sonH1121 of AmmihudH5991[H8675][H5989], kingH4428 of GeshurH1650. And David mournedH56[H8691] for his sonH1121 every dayH3117. |
| [38]So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. |
[38]So AbsalomH53 fledH1272[H8804], and wentH3212[H8799] to GeshurH1650, and was there threeH7969 yearsH8141. |
| [39]And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. |
[39]And the soul of kingH4428 DavidH1732 longedH3615[H8762] to go forthH3318[H8800] unto AbsalomH53: for he was comfortedH5162[H8738] concerning AmnonH550, seeing he was deadH4191.[H8804] |
