1 After some time, David’s son Amnonfell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of David’s son Absalom. 2 Amnonwas sick with frustration over his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed implausible for him to do anything to her.
3 Now Amnonhad a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah.13:3 Shimeah is a variant of Shammah, Shimea, and Shimei; see 1 Samuel 16:9, 2 Samuel 21:21, and 1 Chronicles 2:13.Jonadabwas a very shrewd man, 4 and he asked Amnon, "Why are you, the son of the king, so depressed morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?"
Amnonreplied, "I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister."
5 Jonadabtold him, "Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamarcome and give me something to eat. Let her prepare it in my sight so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’"
6 So Amnonlay down and feigned illness. When the king came to see him, Amnonsaid, "Please let my sister Tamarcome and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand."
7 Then Davidsent word to Tamarat the palace: "Please go to the house of Amnonyour brother and prepare a meal for him."
8 So Tamarwent to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked them. 9 Then she brought the pan and set it down before him, but he refused to eat. "Send everyone away!" said Amnon. And everyone went out.
10 Then Amnonsaid to Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat it from your hand."
Tamartook the cakes she had made and went to her brother Amnon’s bedroom. 11 And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said, "Come lie with me, my sister!"
12 "No, my brother!" she cried. "Do not violate me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing! 13 Where could I ever take my shame? And you would be like one of the fools in Israel! Please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you."
14 But Amnon refused to listen to her, and being stronger, he violated her and lay with her.
15 Then Amnonhated Tamar with such intensity that his hatred was greater than the love he previously had. "Get up!" he said to her. "Be gone!"
16 "No," she replied, "sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already done to me!"
But he refused to listen to her. 17 Instead, he called to his attendant and said, "Throw this woman out and bolt the door behind her!"
18 So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors,13:18 Or a robe with long sleeves; see also Genesis 37:3.because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore. 19 And Tamarput ashes on her head and tore her robe. And putting her hand on her head, she went away crying aloud.
20 Her brother Absalomsaid to her, "Has your brother Amnonbeen with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart."
So Tamarlived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom.
21 When King Davidheard all this, he was furious.13:21 DSS and LXX include But he would not punish his son Amnon, because he loved him, since he was his firstborn.22 And Absalomnever said a word to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnonfor violating his sister Tamar.
Absalom’s Revenge on Amnon
23 Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazornear Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king. 24 And he went to the king and said, "Your servant has just hired shearers. Will the king and his servants please come with me?"
25 "No, my son," the king replied, "we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you." Although Absalomurged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing.
26 "If not," said Absalom, "please let my brother Amnongo with us."
"Why should he go with you?" the king asked.
27 But Absalomurged him, so the king sent Amnonand the rest of his sons.13:27 LXX and Vulgate include And Absalom prepared a feast fit for a king.
28 Now Absalomhad ordered his young men, "Watch Amnonuntil his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnondown, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!"
29 So Absalom’s young men did to Amnonjust as Absalomhad ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule.
30 While they were on the way, a report reached David: "Absalomhas struck down all the sons of the king; not one of them is left!"
31 Then the king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground. And all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: "My lord must not think they have killed all the sons of the king, for only Amnonis dead. In fact, Absalomhas planned this since the day Amnonviolated his sister Tamar. 33 So now, my lord the king, do not take to heart the report that all the sons of the king are dead. Only Amnonis dead."
Absalom Flees to Geshur
34 Meanwhile, Absalomhad fled. When the young man standing watch looked up, he saw many people coming down the road west of him,13:34 Or behind himalong the side of the hill. And the watchman went and reported to the king, "I see men coming from the direction of Horonaim, along the side of the hill."13:34 LXX; Hebrew does not include And the watchman....
35 So Jonadabsaid to the king, "Look, the sons of the king have arrived! It is just as your servant said."
36 And as he finished speaking, the sons of the king came in, wailing loudly. Then the king and all his servants also wept very bitterly.
37 Now Absalomfled and went to Talmaison of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But David mourned for his son every day.
38 After Absalomhad fled and gone to Geshur, he stayed there three years. 39 And King David13:39 MT; DSS and LXX And the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom,13:39 Or ceased to go out after Absalomfor he had been consoled over Amnon’s death.
