And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom&#8217;s sister. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, 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 unto the king, Let her sister Tamar come, I pray thee, 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 thy 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. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And when she had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come, lie with me, my sister. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And I, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Howbeit he would not hearken unto 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 wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And she said unto him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is `worse&#8217; than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> And she had a garment of divers colors upon her; for with such robes were the king&#8217;s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers 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> And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now hold thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; take not 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 wroth. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> And Absalom spake unto Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And it came to pass 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> And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee? <\/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> And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now, when Amnon&#8217;s heart is merry with wine; and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon, then kill him; fear not; have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king&#8217;s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king&#8217;s sons, and there is not one of them left. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David&#8217;s brother, answered and said, Let not 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 hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> Now therefore let not 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. And the young man that 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> And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king&#8217;s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is. <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> And it came to pass, 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. And `David&#8217; 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> And `the soul of&#8217; king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n
