And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. 1Ch 3:92Sa 3:2-31Ch 3:22Sa 13:152Sa 14:271Ki 11:12Sa 11:2Gen 29:18 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. 1 1Ki 21:42Co 7:10Sng 5:8 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. 1Sa 16:91Co 3:192Sa 13:322Sa 14:19-202Sa 14:2Est 5:10Est 5:14Est 6:13 And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. 2 3 Est 5:13-14Isa 3:9Jer 8:12Lev 18:9Lev 20:17Luk 12:32Mic 7:31Ki 21:7 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand. Mrk 6:24-252Sa 16:21Act 23:15Pro 19:27Psa 50:18-19
¶ So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand. Gen 18:6Mat 13:33 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and dress him meat. So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. 4 And she took a 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. Gen 45:1Jdg 3:19Jhn 3:20 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister. Gen 39:11-12 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. 5 6 Jdg 19:23Jdg 20:6Lev 20:17Gen 34:7Lev 18:11Lev 18:9Deu 22:29Gen 34:2 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt 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. Gen 19:8Gen 20:12Jdg 19:24 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. 2Sa 12:11Deu 22:25-27Est 7:8Jdg 20:5
¶ Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. 7 Ezk 23:17 And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. Gen 37:3Jdg 5:30Gen 37:23Gen 37:32Psa 45:13-14
¶ And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying. Jer 2:37Jos 7:62Sa 1:112Sa 1:21Sa 4:12Est 4:1Job 2:12Job 42:6 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house. 8 10 9 Rom 12:19Gen 34:2Gen 46:15Pro 26:24
¶ But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth. Gen 34:71Sa 2:22-251Sa 2:292Sa 12:102Sa 12:52Sa 3:28-29Psa 101:8 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. Gen 31:24Lev 19:17-181Jn 2:111Jn 3:15Gen 24:501Jn 2:9Ecc 7:9Eph 4:26
¶ And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons. 1Sa 25:4Gen 38:12-131Ki 1:191Ki 1:251Ki 1:91Sa 25:21Sa 25:361Sa 25:7 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. 2Sa 11:8-15Jer 41:6-7Psa 12:2Psa 55:21 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. 2Sa 14:22Act 16:15Gen 19:2-3Jdg 19:7-10Luk 14:23Luk 24:29Rut 2:4 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? 2Sa 11:13-152Sa 20:92Sa 3:27Psa 55:21 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. Pro 26:24-26
¶ Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon’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. 11 12 Jdg 19:6Jdg 19:22Jdg 19:91Sa 25:36-38Nam 1:10Rut 3:71Ki 20:161Sa 22:17-18 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled. 13 1Ki 1:332Sa 18:91Ki 21:11-131Sa 22:18-192Ki 1:9-12Gen 36:24Lev 19:19Mic 7:3
¶ And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left. Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. 2Sa 1:112Sa 12:162Sa 3:31Gen 37:29Gen 37:34Job 1:20Jos 7:6 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king’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. 14 15 1Sa 16:92Sa 13:3Gen 27:41Pro 24:11-12Psa 7:14 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead. 2Sa 19:19 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. 2Sa 13:37-38Amo 5:19Gen 4:8-14Pro 28:17 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: as thy servant said, so it is. 16 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore. 17 2Sa 12:212Sa 13:152Sa 18:33
¶ But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. 18 2Sa 3:32Sa 14:231Ch 3:22Sa 13:342Sa 14:32 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. 2Sa 14:232Sa 14:322Sa 15:8 And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. 19 Gen 24:67Gen 37:35Gen 38:122Sa 12:19-23Deu 28:32Gen 31:30Php 2:26Psa 119:20
