2 Samuel 13

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 lovedh157h8799 her.

2

And Amnonh550 was so vexedh3334h8799, that he fell sickh2470h8692 for his sisterh269 Tamarh8559; for she was a virginh1330; and Amnonh550 thoughth5869 it hardh6381h8735 for him to doh6213h8800 any thingh3972 to her. Amnon thought...: Heb. it was marvellous, or, hidden in the eyes of Amnon

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 saidh559h8799 unto him, Why art thou, being the king'sh4428 sonh1121, leanh1800 from dayh1242 to dayh1242? wilt thou not tellh5046h8686 me? And Amnonh550 saidh559h8799 unto him, I loveh157h8802 Tamarh8559, my brotherh251 Absalom'sh53 sisterh269. lean: Heb. thin
from day...: Heb. morning by morning

5

And Jonadabh3082 saidh559h8799 unto him, Lay thee downh7901h8798 on thy bedh4904, and make thyself sickh2470h8690: and when thy fatherh1 comethh935h8804 to seeh7200h8800 thee, sayh559h8804 unto him, I pray thee, let my sisterh269 Tamarh8559 comeh935h8799, and giveh1262h8686 me meath3899, and dressh6213h8804 the meath1279 in my sighth5869, that I may seeh7200h8799 it , and eath398h8804 it at her handh3027.

6

So Amnonh550 lay downh7901h8799, and made himself sickh2470h8691: and when the kingh4428 was comeh935h8799 to seeh7200h8800 him, Amnonh550 saidh559h8799 unto the kingh4428, I pray thee, let Tamarh8559 my sisterh269 comeh935h8799, and makeh3823h8762 me a coupleh8147 of cakesh3834 in my sighth5869, that I may eath1262h8799 at her handh3027.

7

Then Davidh1732 senth7971h8799 homeh1004 to Tamarh8559, sayingh559h8800, Goh3212h8798 now to thy brotherh251 Amnon'sh550 househ1004, and dressh6213h8798 him meath1279.

8

So Tamarh8559 wenth3212h8799 to her brotherh251 Amnon'sh550 househ1004; and he was laid downh7901h8802. And she tookh3947h8799 flourh1217, and kneadedh3888h8799 it , and made cakesh3823h8762 in his sighth5869, and did bakeh1310h8762 the cakesh3834. flour: or, paste

9

And she tookh3947h8799 a panh4958, and poured them outh3332h8799 beforeh6440 him; but he refusedh3985h8762 to eath398h8800. And Amnonh550 saidh559h8799, Have outh3318h8685 all menh376 from me. And they went outh3318h8799 every manh376 from him.

10

And Amnonh550 saidh559h8799 unto Tamarh8559, Bringh935h8685 the meath1279 into the chamberh2315, that I may eath1262h8799 of thine handh3027. And Tamarh8559 tookh3947h8799 the cakesh3834 which she had madeh6213h8804, and broughth935h8686 them into the chamberh2315 to Amnonh550 her brotherh251.

11

And when she had broughth5066h8686 them unto him to eath398h8800, he took holdh2388h8686 of her, and saidh559h8799 unto her, Comeh935h8798 lieh7901h8798 with me, my sisterh269.

12

And she answeredh559h8799 him, Nay, my brotherh251, do not forceh6031h8762 me; for no such thing oughth3651 to be doneh6213h8735 in Israelh3478: doh6213h8799 not thou this follyh5039. force...: Heb. humble me
no such...: Heb. it ought not so to be done

13

And I, whither shall I cause my shameh2781 to goh3212h8686? and as for thee, thou shalt be as oneh259 of the foolsh5036 in Israelh3478. Now therefore, I pray thee, speakh1696h8761 unto the kingh4428; for he will not withholdh4513h8799 me from thee.

14

Howbeit he wouldh14h8804 not hearkenh8085h8800 unto her voiceh6963: but, being strongerh2388h8799 than she, forcedh6031h8762 her, and layh7901h8799 with her.

15

Then Amnonh550 hatedh8130h8799 her exceedinglyh3966h1419; so that the hatredh8135 wherewith he hatedh8130h8804 her was greaterh1419 than the loveh160 wherewith he had lovedh157h8804 her. And Amnonh550 saidh559h8799 unto her, Ariseh6965h8798, be goneh3212h8798. exceedingly: Heb. with great hatred greatly

16

And she saidh559h8799 unto him, There is no causeh182: this evilh7451 in sending me awayh7971h8763 is greaterh1419 than the otherh312 that thou didsth6213h8804 unto me. But he wouldh14h8804 not hearkenh8085h8800 unto her.

17

Then he calledh7121h8799 his servanth5288 that ministeredh8334h8764 unto him, and saidh559h8799, Puth7971h8798 now this woman outh2351 from me, and bolth5274h8798 the doorh1817 afterh310 her.

18

And she had a garmenth3801 of divers coloursh6446 upon her: for with such robesh4598 were the king'sh4428 daughtersh1323 that were virginsh1330 apparelledh3847h8799. Then his servanth8334h8764 broughth3318h8686 her outh2351, and boltedh5274h8804 the doorh1817 afterh310 her.

19

And Tamarh8559 puth3947h8799 ashesh665 on her headh7218, and renth7167h8804 her garmenth3801 of divers coloursh6446 that was on her, and laidh7760h8799 her handh3027 on her headh7218, and wenth3212h8799 onh1980h8800 cryingh2199h8804.

20

And Absalomh53 her brotherh251 saidh559h8799 unto her, Hath Amnonh550 thy brotherh251 been with thee? but hold now thy peaceh2790h8685, my sisterh269: he is thy brotherh251; regardh7896h8799h3820 not this thingh1697. So Tamarh8559 remainedh3427h8799 desolateh8074h8802 in her brotherh251 Absalom'sh53 househ1004. Amnon: Heb. Aminon
regard...: Heb. set not thy heart
desolate: Heb. and desolate

21

But when kingh4428 Davidh1732 heardh8085h8804 of all these thingsh1697, he was veryh3966 wrothh2734h8799.

22

And Absalomh53 spakeh1696h8765 unto his brother Amnonh550 neither goodh2896 nor badh7451: for Absalomh53 hatedh8130h8804 Amnonh550, becauseh1697 he had forcedh6031h8765 his sisterh269 Tamarh8559.

23

And it came to pass after two fullh3117 yearsh8141, that Absalomh53 had sheepshearersh1494h8802 in Baalhazorh1178, which is beside Ephraimh669: and Absalomh53 invitedh7121h8799 all the king'sh4428 sonsh1121.

24

And Absalomh53 cameh935h8799 to the kingh4428, and saidh559h8799, Behold now, thy servanth5650 hath sheepshearersh1494h8802; leth3212 the kingh4428, I beseech thee, and his servantsh5650 goh3212h8799 with thy servanth5650.

25

And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799 to Absalomh53, Nay, my sonh1121, let us not all now goh3212h8799, lest we be chargeableh3513h8799 unto thee. And he pressedh6555h8799 him: howbeit he wouldh14h8804 not goh3212h8800, but blessedh1288h8762 him.

26

Then saidh559h8799 Absalomh53, If not, I pray thee, let my brotherh251 Amnonh550 goh3212h8799 with us. And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799 unto him, Why should he goh3212h8799 with thee?

27

But Absalomh53 pressedh6555h8799 him, that he let Amnonh550 and all the king'sh4428 sonsh1121 goh7971h8799 with him.

28

Now Absalomh53 had commandedh6680h8762 his servantsh5288, sayingh559h8800, Markh7200h8798 ye now when Amnon'sh550 hearth3820 is merryh2896 with wineh3196, and when I sayh559h8804 unto you, Smiteh5221h8685 Amnonh550; then killh4191h8689 him, fearh3372h8799 not: have not I commandedh6680h8765 you? be courageoush2388h8798, and be valianth1121h2428. have...: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?
valiant: Heb. sons of valour

29

And the servantsh5288 of Absalomh53 didh6213h8799 unto Amnonh550 as Absalomh53 had commandedh6680h8765. Then all the king'sh4428 sonsh1121 aroseh6965h8799, and every manh376 gat him uph7392h8799 upon his muleh6505, and fledh5127h8799. gat...: Heb. rode

30

And it came to pass, while they were in the wayh1870, that tidingsh8052 cameh935h8804 to Davidh1732, sayingh559h8800, Absalomh53 hath slainh5221h8689 all the king'sh4428 sonsh1121, and there is not oneh259 of them lefth3498h8738.

31

Then the kingh4428 aroseh6965h8799, and tareh7167h8799 his garmentsh899, and layh7901h8799 on the earthh776; and all his servantsh5650 stoodh5324h8737 by with their clothesh899 renth7167h8803.

32

And Jonadabh3122, the sonh1121 of Shimeahh8093 David'sh1732 brotherh251, answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799, Let not my lordh113 supposeh559h8799 that they have slainh4191h8689 all the young menh5288 the king'sh4428 sonsh1121; for Amnonh550 only is deadh4191h8804: for by the appointmenth6310 of Absalomh53 this hath been determinedh7760h8803 from the dayh3117 that he forcedh6031h8763 his sisterh269 Tamarh8559. appointment: Heb. mouth
determined: or, settled

33

Now therefore let not my lordh113 the kingh4428 takeh7760h8799 the thingh1697 to his hearth3820, to thinkh559h8800 that all the king'sh4428 sonsh1121 are deadh4191h8804: for Amnonh550 only is deadh4191h8804.

34

But Absalomh53 fledh1272h8799. And the young manh5288 that kept the watchh6822h8802 lifted uph5375h8799 his eyesh5869, and lookedh7200h8799, and, behold, there cameh1980h8802 muchh7227 peopleh5971 by the wayh1870 of the hillh2022 sideh6654 behindh310 him.

35

And Jonadabh3122 saidh559h8799 unto the kingh4428, Behold, the king'sh4428 sonsh1121 comeh935h8804: as thy servanth5650 saidh1697, so it is. as thy...: Heb. according to the word of thy servant

36

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an endh3615h8763 of speakingh1696h8763, that, behold, the king'sh4428 sonsh1121 cameh935h8804, and lifted uph5375h8799 their voiceh6963 and wepth1058h8799: and the kingh4428 also and all his servantsh5650 wepth1058h8804 veryh3966 soreh1065h1419. very...: Heb. with a great weeping greatly

37

But Absalomh53 fledh1272h8804, and wenth3212h8799 to Talmaih8526, the sonh1121 of Ammihudh5991h8675h5989, kingh4428 of Geshurh1650. And David mournedh56h8691 for his sonh1121 every dayh3117. Ammihud: or, Ammihur

38

So Absalomh53 fledh1272h8804, and wenth3212h8799 to Geshurh1650, and was there threeh7969 yearsh8141.

39

And the soul of kingh4428 Davidh1732 longedh3615h8762 to go forthh3318h8800 unto Absalomh53: for he was comfortedh5162h8738 concerning Amnonh550, seeing he was deadh4191h8804. longed: or, was consumed
