Won&#8217;t you tell me? Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom&#8217;s sister. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Jonadab said to him, Lay you down on your bed, and feign yourself sick: and when your father comes to see you, tell him, Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let her sister Tamar come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to your brother Amnon&#8217;s house, and dress him food. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> So Tamar went to her brother Amnon&#8217;s house; and he was laid down. She took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, Have out all men from me. They went out every man from him. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from your hand. Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> She answered him, No, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don&#8217;t you do this folly. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> I, where shall I carry my shame? and as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> She said to him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is [worse] than the other that you did to me. But he would not listen to her. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> She had a garment of various colors on her; for with such robes were the king&#8217;s daughters who were virgins dressed. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? but now hold your peace, my sister: he is your brother; don&#8217;t take this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom&#8217;s house. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> It happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king&#8217;s sons. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> Absalom came to the king, and said, See now, your servant has sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray you, and his servants go with your servant. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> The king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you. He pressed him: however he would not go, but blessed him. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> Then said Absalom, If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us. The king said to him, Why should he go with you? <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king&#8217;s sons go with him. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark you now, when Amnon&#8217;s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, Smite Amnon, then kill him; don&#8217;t be afraid; haven&#8217;t I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king&#8217;s sons arose, and every man got him up on his mule, and fled. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> It happened, while they were in the way, that the news came to David, saying, Absalom has slain all the king&#8217;s sons, and there is not one of them left. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn. <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David&#8217;s brother, answered, Don&#8217;t let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king&#8217;s sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> Now therefore don&#8217;t let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king&#8217;s sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> But Absalom fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him. <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king&#8217;s sons are come: as your servant said, so it is. <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> It happened, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that behold, the king&#8217;s sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore. <\/br><strong>37<\/strong> But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. [David] mourned for his son every day. <\/br><strong>38<\/strong> So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. <\/br><strong>39<\/strong> [the soul of] king David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height = 100;\n<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_320x100_more_for_mobile --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>If you know someone that needs to give their heart to Jesus, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/26\/bill-winstons-prayer-of-salvation-the-sinners-prayer\/\" title=\"great video of the Salvation Prayer\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a great video of the Salvation Prayer (Sinner&#8217;s Prayer).<\/a><\/strong><\/br><\/br>If you (or anyone you know) needs prayer, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/24-hour-toll-free-prayer-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a list of toll free 24 hour prayer lines.<\/a><\/strong> <\/br><br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/salvation\/faqs-about-salvation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions about Salvation.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/><\/br>To access different versions of the Bible, click the following links: <br \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=king+james+version\" target=\"_blank\">King James Version (KJV), <\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=American+Standard+Version\" target=\"_blank\">American Standard Version (ASV), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=World+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">World English Bible (WEB), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Darby+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Darby English Bible (DARBY), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Bible+in+Basic+English\" target=\"_blank\">Bible in Basic English (BBE), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Webster+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Webster&#8217;s Bible (WBT), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Young+Literal+Translation\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s Literal Translation (YLT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 It happened after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar;
