1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name [was]Tamar was Absalom's sister both by father and mother, and Amnon's only by father.Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she [was] aAnd therefore kept her father's house, as virgins were accustomed.virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her.

3 But Amnon had a friend called Ionadab, the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother: and Ionadab was a very subtile man.

4 Who sayde vnto him, Why art thou the Kings sonne so leane from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? Then Amnon answered him, I loue Tamar my brother Absaloms sister.

5 And Jonadab said unto him,Here we see that there is no enterprise so wicked that it cannot be encouraged to further wickedness.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.

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 ofMeaning, some delicate and dainty meat.cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.

7 Then Dauid sent home to Tamar, saying, Goe now to thy brother Amnons house, and dresse him meate.

8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnons house, and he lay downe: and she tooke floure, and knead it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.

9 And she took a pan, andThat is, she served them on a dish.poured [them] out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men fromFor the wicked are ashamed to do that before men, which they are not afraid to commit in the sight of God.me. And they went out every man from him.

10 Then Amnon said vnto Tamar, Bring the meate into the chamber, that I may eate of thine hand; Tamar tooke the cakes which shee had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

11 And when she had set them before him to eate, he tooke her, and sayd vnto her, Come, lye with me, my sister.

12 But shee answered him, Nay, my brother, doe not force me: for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: commit not this follie.

13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one ofAs a lewd and wicked person.the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

14 Howbeit he would not hearken vnto her voyce, but being stronger then she, forced her, and lay with her.

15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred wherewith he hated her, was greater then the loue, wherewith hee had loued her: and Amnon sayde vnto her, Vp, get thee hence.

16 And she answered him, There is no cause: this euill (to put mee away) is greater then the other that thou diddest vnto me: but he would not heare her,

17 But called his seruant that serued him, & sayd, Put this woman now out from me, & locke the doore after her.

18 And [she had] a garment ofFor that which was of various colours or pieces, in those days was greatly esteemed, (Gen_37:3; Jdg_5:30).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.

19 And Tamar put ashes on her head and rent the garment of diuers colours which was on her, and layde her hand on her head, and went her way crying.

20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? butFor though he conceived sudden vengeance in his heart, yet he concealed it till an opportunity arose, and comforted his sister.hold now thy peace, my sister: he [is] thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

21 But when King Dauid heard all these things, he was very wroth.

22 And Absalom sayde vnto 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 full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which [is] beside Ephraim: andThat is, to a banquet, thinking by it to fulfil his wicked purpose.Absalom invited all the king's sons.

24 And Absalom came to the King and sayd, Beholde now, thy seruant hath sheepesherers: I pray thee, that the King with his seruants would goe with thy seruant.

25 But the King answered Absalom, Nay my sonne, I pray thee, let vs not goe all, lest we be chargeable vnto thee. Yet Absalom lay sore vpon him: howbeit he would not go, but thaked him.

26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brotherPretending to the king that Amnon was most dear to him.Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?

27 But Absalom was instant vpon him, & he sent Amnon with him, & all the Kings children.

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 notSuch is the pride of the wicked masters, that in all their wicked commandments they think to be obeyed.I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

29 And the seruantes of Absalom did vnto Amnon, as Absalom had commanded: and al the Kings sonnes arose, and euery man gate him vp vpon his mule, and fled.

30 And while they were in the way, tydings came to Dauid, saying, Absalom hath slaine al the Kings sonnes, & there is not one of them left.

31 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on theLamenting, as he that felt the wrath of God on his house, (2Sa_12:10).earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

32 And Ionadab the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother answered and sayde, Let not my lord suppose that they haue slayne all the yong men the Kings sonnes: for Amnon onely is dead, because Absalom had reported so, since hee forced his sister Tamar.

33 Nowe therefore let not my lord the King take the thing so grieuously, to thinke that all ye Kings sonnes are dead: for Amnon only is dead.

34 Then Absalom fled: and the yong man that kept the watch, lift vp his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behinde him.

35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said,That only Amnon is dead.so it is.

36 And assoone as hee had left speaking, behold, the Kings sonnes came, & lift vp their voyces, and wept: and the King also and all his seruants wept exceedingly sore.

37 But Absalom fled, and went toFor Maachah his mother was the daughter of this Talmai, (2Sa_3:3).Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.

38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three yeeres.

39 And King Dauid desired to go forth vnto Absalom, because he was pacified concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
