1 Sometime after this, David's son Amnon fell in love with David's other son Absalom's beautiful sister Tamar.
2 And Amnon was so frustrated that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar. For she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
3 And Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David`s brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.
4 He said to him, "Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won't you tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister."
5 Jonadab said to him, “Lay down on your bed, and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.'”
6 So Amnon lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."
7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, Please go to the house of your brother Amnon and make food for him.
8 And Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, and he was lying down: and she took the dough and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
9 and emptied the baking skillet just for him, but he refused to eat. "Send everybody out of here," Amnon said. So everyone left the room.
10 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the inner room, and I shall eat from your hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made and brought them in to her brother Amnon, into the inner room.
11 And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
12 Then Tamar said to him, "No, my brother! Do not force me, for such a thing has not been done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
13 As for me, where should I take my disgrace? You will be as one of the fools in Israel. So please, speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you."
14 Amnon wouldn't listen to her. He grabbed his sister and raped her.
15 Then Amnon was full of hate for her, hating her with a hate greater than his earlier love for her. And he said to her, Get up and be gone.
16 And she said to him, No, for this evil is greater than the other that you have done to me, to send me away. But he was not willing to listen to her.
17 He called his servant and said: "Throw this woman out and lock the door!"
18 The servant forced her to leave. He locked the door behind her. The king’s unmarried daughters used to wear long robes with sleeves.
19 Tamar put ashes on her head, and she tore the long-sleeved robe which was on her. She put her hand on her head, and she went away, crying out as she went.
20 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't take this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
21 King David heard what happened and he was furious!
22 Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
