| [1]וַיְהִ֣י אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן וּלְאַבְשָׁלֹ֧ום בֶּן־דָּוִ֛ד אָחֹ֥ות יָפָ֖ה וּשְׁמָ֣הּ תָּמָ֑ר וַיֶּאֱהָבֶ֖הָ אַמְנֹ֥ון בֶּן־דָּוִֽד׃ |
[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]וַיֵּ֨צֶר לְאַמְנֹ֜ון לְהִתְחַלֹּ֗ות בַּֽעֲבוּר֙ תָּמָ֣ר אֲחֹתֹ֔ו כִּ֥י בְתוּלָ֖ה הִ֑יא וַיִּפָּלֵא֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י אַמְנֹ֔ון לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות לָ֖הּ מְאֽוּמָה׃ |
[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]וּלְאַמְנֹ֣ון רֵ֗עַ וּשְׁמֹו֙ יֹֽונָדָ֔ב בֶּן־שִׁמְעָ֖ה אֲחִ֣י דָוִ֑ד וְיֹ֣ונָדָ֔ב אִ֥ישׁ חָכָ֖ם מְאֹֽד׃ |
[3]But Amnon had a friend called Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtle man. |
| [4]וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לֹ֗ו מַדּ֣וּעַ אַ֠תָּה כָּ֣כָה דַּ֤ל בֶּן־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ בַּבֹּ֣קֶר בַּבֹּ֔קֶר הֲלֹ֖וא תַּגִּ֣יד לִ֑י וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לֹו֙ אַמְנֹ֔ון אֶת־תָּמָ֗ר אֲחֹ֛ות אַבְשָׁלֹ֥ם אָחִ֖י אֲנִ֥י אֹהֵֽב׃ |
[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]וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לֹו֙ יְהֹ֣ונָדָ֔ב שְׁכַ֥ב עַל־מִשְׁכָּבְךָ֖ וְהִתְחָ֑ל וּבָ֧א אָבִ֣יךָ לִרְאֹותֶ֗ךָ וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֵלָ֡יו תָּ֣בֹא נָא֩ תָמָ֨ר אֲחֹותִ֜י וְתַבְרֵ֣נִי לֶ֗חֶם וְעָשְׂתָ֤ה לְעֵינַי֙ אֶת־הַבִּרְיָ֔ה לְמַ֙עַן֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶרְאֶ֔ה וְאָכַלְתִּ֖י מִיָּדָֽהּ׃ |
[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]וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב אַמְנֹ֖ון וַיִּתְחָ֑ל וַיָּבֹ֨א הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ לִרְאֹתֹ֗ו וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַמְנֹ֤ון אֶל־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ תָּֽבֹוא־נָ֞א תָּמָ֣ר אֲחֹתִ֗י וּתְלַבֵּ֤ב לְעֵינַי֙ שְׁתֵּ֣י לְבִבֹ֔ות וְאֶבְרֶ֖ה מִיָּדָֽהּ׃ |
[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]וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח דָּוִ֛ד אֶל־תָּמָ֖ר הַבַּ֣יְתָה לֵאמֹ֑ר לְכִ֣י נָ֗א בֵּ֚ית אַמְנֹ֣ון אָחִ֔יךְ וַעֲשִׂי־לֹ֖ו הַבִּרְיָֽה׃ |
[7]Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat. |
| [8]וַתֵּ֣לֶךְ תָּמָ֗ר בֵּ֛ית אַמְנֹ֥ון אָחִ֖יהָ וְה֣וּא שֹׁכֵ֑ב וַתִּקַּ֨ח אֶת־הַבָּצֵ֤ק [וַתָּלֹושׁ כ] (וַתָּ֙לָשׁ֙ ק) וַתְּלַבֵּ֣ב לְעֵינָ֔יו וַתְּבַשֵּׁ֖ל אֶת־הַלְּבִבֹֽות׃ |
[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]וַתִּקַּ֤ח אֶת־הַמַּשְׂרֵת֙ וַתִּצֹ֣ק לְפָנָ֔יו וַיְמָאֵ֖ן לֶאֱכֹ֑ול וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אַמְנֹ֗ון הֹוצִ֤יאוּ כָל־אִישׁ֙ מֵֽעָלַ֔י וַיֵּצְא֥וּ כָל־אִ֖ישׁ מֵעָלָֽיו׃ |
[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]וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַמְנֹ֜ון אֶל־תָּמָ֗ר הָבִ֤יאִי הַבִּרְיָה֙ הַחֶדֶ֔ר וְאֶבְרֶ֖ה מִיָּדֵ֑ךְ וַתִּקַּ֣ח תָּמָ֗ר אֶת־הַלְּבִבֹות֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔תָה וַתָּבֵ֛א לְאַמְנֹ֥ון אָחִ֖יהָ הֶחָֽדְרָה׃ |
[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]וַתַּגֵּ֥שׁ אֵלָ֖יו לֶֽאֱכֹ֑ל וַיַּֽחֲזֶק־בָּהּ֙ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָ֔הּ בֹּ֛ואִי שִׁכְבִ֥י עִמִּ֖י אֲחֹותִֽי׃ |
[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]וַתֹּ֣אמֶר לֹ֗ו אַל־אָחִי֙ אַל־תְּעַנֵּ֔נִי כִּ֛י לֹא־יֵֽעָשֶׂ֥ה כֵ֖ן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אַֽל־תַּעֲשֵׂ֖ה אֶת־הַנְּבָלָ֥ה הַזֹּֽאת׃ |
[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]וַאֲנִ֗י אָ֤נָה אֹולִיךְ֙ אֶת־חֶרְפָּתִ֔י וְאַתָּ֗ה תִּהְיֶ֛ה כְּאַחַ֥ד הַנְּבָלִ֖ים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְעַתָּה֙ דַּבֶּר־נָ֣א אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ כִּ֛י לֹ֥א יִמְנָעֵ֖נִי מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ |
[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]וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לִשְׁמֹ֣עַ בְּקֹולָ֑הּ וַיֶּחֱזַ֤ק מִמֶּ֙נָּה֙ וַיְעַנֶּ֔הָ וַיִּשְׁכַּ֖ב אֹתָֽהּ׃ |
[14]Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice, but being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. |
| [15]וַיִּשְׂנָאֶ֣הָ אַמְנֹ֗ון שִׂנְאָה֙ גְּדֹולָ֣ה מְאֹ֔ד כִּ֣י גְדֹולָ֗ה הַשִּׂנְאָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר שְׂנֵאָ֔הּ מֵאַהֲבָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲהֵבָ֑הּ וַֽיֹּאמֶר־לָ֥הּ אַמְנֹ֖ון ק֥וּמִי לֵֽכִי׃ |
[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]וַתֹּ֣אמֶר לֹ֗ו אַל־אֹודֹ֞ת הָרָעָ֤ה הַגְּדֹולָה֙ הַזֹּ֔את מֵאַחֶ֛רֶת אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֥יתָ עִמִּ֖י לְשַׁלְּחֵ֑נִי וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לִשְׁמֹ֥עַֽ לָֽהּ׃ |
[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]וַיִּקְרָ֗א אֶֽת־נַעֲרֹו֙ מְשָׁ֣רְתֹ֔ו וַיֹּ֕אמֶר שִׁלְחוּ־נָ֥א אֶת־זֹ֛את מֵעָלַ֖י הַח֑וּצָה וּנְעֹ֥ל הַדֶּ֖לֶת אַחֲרֶֽיהָ׃ |
[17]But called his servant that served him, and said, Put this woman now out from me, and lock the door after her. |
| [18]וְעָלֶ֙יהָ֙ כְּתֹ֣נֶת פַּסִּ֔ים כִּי֩ כֵ֨ן תִּלְבַּ֧שְׁןָ בְנֹות־הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ הַבְּתוּלֹ֖ת מְעִילִ֑ים וַיֹּצֵ֨א אֹותָ֤הּ מְשָֽׁרְתֹו֙ הַח֔וּץ וְנָעַ֥ל הַדֶּ֖לֶת אַחֲרֶֽיהָ׃ |
[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]וַתִּקַּ֨ח תָּמָ֥ר אֵ֙פֶר֙ עַל־רֹאשָׁ֔הּ וּכְתֹ֧נֶת הַפַּסִּ֛ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָלֶ֖יהָ קָרָ֑עָה וַתָּ֤שֶׂם יָדָהּ֙ עַל־רֹאשָׁ֔הּ וַתֵּ֥לֶךְ הָלֹ֖וךְ וְזָעָֽקָה׃ |
[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]וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלֶ֜יהָ אַבְשָׁלֹ֣ום אָחִ֗יהָ הַאֲמִינֹ֣ון אָחִיךְ֮ הָיָ֣ה עִמָּךְ֒ וְעַתָּ֞ה אֲחֹותִ֤י הַחֲרִ֙ישִׁי֙ אָחִ֣יךְ ה֔וּא אַל־תָּשִׁ֥יתִי אֶת־לִבֵּ֖ךְ לַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה וַתֵּ֤שֶׁב תָּמָר֙ וְשֹׁ֣מֵמָ֔ה בֵּ֖ית אַבְשָׁלֹ֥ום אָחִֽיהָ׃ |
[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]וְהַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֔ד שָׁמַ֕ע אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה וַיִּ֥חַר לֹ֖ו מְאֹֽד׃ |
[21]But when king David heard all these things, he was very wroth. |
| [22]וְלֹֽא־דִבֶּ֧ר אַבְשָׁלֹ֛ום עִם־אַמְנֹ֖ון לְמֵרָ֣ע וְעַד־טֹ֑וב כִּֽי־שָׂנֵ֤א אַבְשָׁלֹום֙ אֶת־אַמְנֹ֔ון עַל־דְּבַר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עִנָּ֔ה אֵ֖ת תָּמָ֥ר אֲחֹתֹֽו׃ |
[22]And Absalom said unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. |
| [23]וַֽיְהִי֙ לִשְׁנָתַ֣יִם יָמִ֔ים וַיִּהְי֤וּ גֹֽזְזִים֙ לְאַבְשָׁלֹ֔ום בְּבַ֥עַל חָצֹ֖ור אֲשֶׁ֣ר עִם־אֶפְרָ֑יִם וַיִּקְרָ֥א אַבְשָׁלֹ֖ום לְכָל־בְּנֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ |
[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]וַיָּבֹ֤א אַבְשָׁלֹום֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הִנֵּה־נָ֥א גֹזְזִ֖ים לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ יֵֽלֶךְ־נָ֥א הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וַעֲבָדָ֖יו עִם־עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃ |
[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]וַיֹּ֨אמֶר הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹ֗ום אַל־בְּנִי֙ אַל־נָ֤א נֵלֵךְ֙ כֻּלָּ֔נוּ וְלֹ֥א נִכְבַּ֖ד עָלֶ֑יךָ וַיִּפְרָץ־בֹּ֛ו וְלֹֽא־אָבָ֥ה לָלֶ֖כֶת וַֽיְבָרֲכֵֽהוּ׃ |
[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]וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַבְשָׁלֹ֔ום וָלֹ֕א יֵֽלֶךְ־נָ֥א אִתָּ֖נוּ אַמְנֹ֣ון אָחִ֑י וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לֹו֙ הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ לָ֥מָּה יֵלֵ֖ךְ עִמָּֽךְ׃ |
[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]וַיִּפְרָץ־בֹּ֖ו אַבְשָׁלֹ֑ום וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח אִתֹּו֙ אֶת־אַמְנֹ֔ון וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ |
[27]But Absalom was instant upon him, and he sent Amnon with him, and all the king's children. |
| [28]וַיְצַו֩ אַבְשָׁלֹ֨ום אֶת־נְעָרָ֜יו לֵאמֹ֗ר רְא֣וּ נָ֠א כְּטֹ֨וב לֵב־אַמְנֹ֤ון בַּיַּ֙יִן֙ וְאָמַרְתִּ֣י אֲלֵיכֶ֔ם הַכּ֧וּ אֶת־אַמְנֹ֛ון וַהֲמִתֶּ֥ם אֹתֹ֖ו אַל־תִּירָ֑אוּ הֲלֹ֗וא כִּ֤י אָֽנֹכִי֙ צִוִּ֣יתִי אֶתְכֶ֔ם חִזְק֖וּ וִהְי֥וּ לִבְנֵי־חָֽיִל׃ |
[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]וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֞וּ נַעֲרֵ֤י אַבְשָׁלֹום֙ לְאַמְנֹ֔ון כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה אַבְשָׁלֹ֑ום וַיָּקֻ֣מוּ ׀ כָּל־בְּנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ וַֽיִּרְכְּב֛וּ אִ֥ישׁ עַל־פִּרְדֹּ֖ו וַיָּנֻֽסוּ׃ |
[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]וַֽיְהִי֙ הֵ֣מָּה בַדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְהַשְּׁמֻעָ֣ה בָ֔אָה אֶל־דָּוִ֖ד לֵאמֹ֑ר הִכָּ֤ה אַבְשָׁלֹום֙ אֶת־כָּל־בְּנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וְלֹֽא־נֹותַ֥ר מֵהֶ֖ם אֶחָֽד׃ |
[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]וַיָּ֧קָם הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וַיִּקְרַ֥ע אֶת־בְּגָדָ֖יו וַיִּשְׁכַּ֣ב אָ֑רְצָה וְכָל־עֲבָדָ֥יו נִצָּבִ֖ים קְרֻעֵ֥י בְגָדִֽים׃ |
[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]וַיַּ֡עַן יֹונָדָ֣ב ׀ בֶּן־שִׁמְעָ֨ה אֲחִֽי־דָוִ֜ד וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אַל־יֹאמַ֤ר אֲדֹנִי֙ אֵ֣ת כָּל־הַנְּעָרִ֤ים בְּנֵֽי־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ הֵמִ֔יתוּ כִּֽי־אַמְנֹ֥ון לְבַדֹּ֖ו מֵ֑ת כִּֽי־עַל־פִּ֤י אַבְשָׁלֹום֙ הָיְתָ֣ה שׂוּמָ֔ה מִיֹּום֙ עַנֹּתֹ֔ו אֵ֖ת תָּמָ֥ר אֲחֹתֹֽו׃ |
[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]וְעַתָּ֡ה אַל־יָשֵׂם֩ אֲדֹנִ֨י הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ אֶל־לִבֹּו֙ דָּבָ֣ר לֵאמֹ֔ר כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ מֵ֑תוּ כִּֽי־אִם־אַמְנֹ֥ון לְבַדֹּ֖ו מֵֽת׃ |
[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]וַיִּבְרַ֖ח אַבְשָׁלֹ֑ום וַיִּשָּׂ֞א הַנַּ֤עַר הַצֹּפֶה֙ אֶת־ [עֵינֹו כ] (עֵינָ֔יו ק) וַיַּ֗רְא וְהִנֵּ֨ה עַם־רַ֜ב הֹלְכִ֥ים מִדֶּ֛רֶךְ אַחֲרָ֖יו מִצַּ֥ד הָהָֽר׃ |
[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]וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יֹֽונָדָב֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ הִנֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ בָּ֑אוּ כִּדְבַ֥ר עַבְדְּךָ֖ כֵּ֥ן הָיָֽה׃ |
[35]And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is. |
| [36]וַיְהִ֣י ׀ כְּכַלֹּתֹ֣ו לְדַבֵּ֗ר וְהִנֵּ֤ה בְנֵֽי־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ בָּ֔אוּ וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ קֹולָ֖ם וַיִּבְכּ֑וּ וְגַם־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ וְכָל־עֲבָדָ֔יו בָּכ֕וּ בְּכִ֖י גָּדֹ֥ול מְאֹֽד׃ |
[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]וְאַבְשָׁלֹ֣ום בָּרַ֔ח וַיֵּ֛לֶךְ אֶל־תַּלְמַ֥י בֶּן־ [עַמִּיחוּר כ] (עַמִּיה֖וּד ק) מֶ֣לֶךְ גְּשׁ֑וּר וַיִּתְאַבֵּ֥ל עַל־בְּנֹ֖ו כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃ |
[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]וְאַבְשָׁלֹ֥ום בָּרַ֖ח וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ גְּשׁ֑וּר וַיְהִי־שָׁ֖ם שָׁלֹ֥שׁ שָׁנִֽים׃ |
[38]So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. |
| [39]וַתְּכַל֙ דָּוִ֣ד הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ לָצֵ֖את אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹ֑ום כִּֽי־נִחַ֥ם עַל־אַמְנֹ֖ון כִּֽי־מֵֽת׃ |
[39]And king David desired to go forth unto Absalom, because he was pacified concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. |
