| [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. |
[1]Now after this so it was, that Absalom the son of David having a fair sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the son of David loved 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. |
[2]And Amnon was so sore vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar: for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her. |
| [3]But AmnonH550 had a friendH7453, whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 David'sH1732 brotherH251: and JonadabH3122 was a veryH3966 subtilH2450 manH376. |
[3]But Amnon had a friend called Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtle man. |
| [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. |
[4]Who said unto him, Why art thou the king's son so lean from day to day? Wilt thou not tell me? Then Amnon answered him, I love Tamar my brother Absalom's sister. |
| [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. |
[5]And Jonadab said unto him, Lie down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and let her dress meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it of 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. |
[6]So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king came 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 receive meat at her hand. |
| [7]Then DavidH1732 sentH7971[H8799] homeH1004 to TamarH8559, sayingH559[H8800], GoH3212[H8798] now to thy brotherH251 Amnon'sH550 houseH1004, and dressH6213[H8798] him meatH1279. |
[7]Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat. |
| [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. |
[8]So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, and he lay down: and she took flour, and knead it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. |
| [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. |
[9]And she took a pan, and poured them out before him, but he would not eat. Then Amnon said, Cause ye every man to go out from me: so every man went out from him. |
| [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. |
[10]Then 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. |
| [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. |
[11]And when she had set them before him to eat, he took her, and said unto her, Come, lie with me, my sister. |
| [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. |
[12]But she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: commit not this folly. |
| [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. |
[13]And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? And thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, speak to the king, for he will not deny me unto thee. |
| [14]Howbeit he wouldH14[H8804] not hearkenH8085[H8800] unto her voiceH6963: but, being strongerH2388[H8799] than she, forcedH6031[H8762] her, and layH7901 with herH8799. |
[14]Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice, but being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. |
| [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] |
[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, Up, get thee hence. |
| [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. |
[16]And she answered him, There is no cause: this evil (to put me away) is greater than the other that thou didst unto me: but he would not hear 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. |
[17]But called his servant that served him, and said, Put this woman now out from me, and lock 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. |
[18](And she had a garment of divers colors upon her: for with such garments were the king's daughters that were virgins, appareled) Then his servant brought her out, and locked the door after her. |
| [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] |
[19]And Tamar put ashes on her head and rent the garment of divers colors which was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went her way crying. |
| [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. |
[20]And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? Now yet be still, my sister: he is thy brother: let not this thing grieve thine heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house. |
| [21]But when kingH4428 DavidH1732 heardH8085[H8804] of all these thingsH1697, he was veryH3966 wrothH2734.[H8799] |
[21]But when king David heard all these things, he was very wroth. |
| [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. |
[22]And Absalom said unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. |
| [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. |
[23]And after the time of two years, Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim, and Absalom called all the king's sons. |
| [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. |
[24]And Absalom came to the king and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers: I pray thee, that the king with his servants would go with thy servant. |
| [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. |
[25]But the king answered Absalom, Nay my son, I pray thee, let us not go all, lest we be chargeable unto thee. Yet Absalom lay sore upon him: howbeit he would not go, but thanked him. |
| [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? |
[26]Then said Absalom, But, I pray thee, shall not my brother Amnon go with us? And the king answered him, Why should he go with thee? |
| [27]But AbsalomH53 pressedH6555[H8799] him, that he let AmnonH550 and all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 goH7971 with himH8799. |
[27]But Absalom was instant upon him, and he sent Amnon with him, and all the king's children. |
| [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] |
[28]Now had Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon, kill him, fear not, for have not I commanded you? Be bold therefore, and play the men. |
| [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] |
[29]And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon, as Absalom had commanded: and all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled. |
| [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] |
[30]And while they were in the way, tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left. |
| [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] |
[31]Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. |
| [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. |
[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, because Absalom had reported so, since he forced his sister Tamar. |
| [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] |
[33]Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing so grievously, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead. |
| [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. |
[34]Then Absalom fled: and the young man that kept the watch, lift up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came much people by the way of the hillside behind him. |
| [35]And JonadabH3122 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, Behold, the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 comeH935[H8804]: as thy servantH5650 said, so it isH1697. |
[35]And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is. |
| [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] |
[36]And as soon as he had left speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lift up their voices, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept exceedingly sore. |
| [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. |
[37]But Absalom fled away, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud king of Geshur: and David mourned for his son every day. |
| [38]So AbsalomH53 fledH1272[H8804], and wentH3212[H8799] to GeshurH1650, and was there threeH7969 yearsH8141. |
[38]So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. |
| [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] |
[39]And king David desired to go forth unto Absalom, because he was pacified concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. |
