3 But Amnon [faithful] had a friend, whose name [was] Yonadav [Yehovah is willing] [Generous], the son of Shim’ah [report] David’s [beloved]’s brother: and Yonadav [Yehovah is willing] [Generous] [was] a very subtle man.
4 And he said unto him, Why [are] youi, [being] the king’s son, lean from day to day? will youi not tell me? And Amnon [faithful] said unto him, I love Tamar [palm-tree], my brother Avshalom [my father is peace]’s sister.
5 And Yonadav [Yehovah is willing] [Generous] said unto him, Lay youi down on youri bed, and make yourself sick: and when youri father comes to see youi, say unto him, I pray youi, let my sister Tamar [palm-tree] come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her hand.
