Shemu’ĕl Bĕt (2 Samuel) 13:1-2, 5, 7, 10-12, 14-15, 19-22, 28-29, 31-32 TS2009
[1] And after this it came to be that Aḇshalom son of Dawiḏ had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar, and Amnon son of Dawiḏ loved her. [2] And Amnon was distressed, even to become sick, because of his sister Tamar – for she was a maiden – and it was hard in the eyes of Amnon to do whatever to her.
[5] And Yonaḏaḇ said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be sick. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and make the food before my eyes so that I see it, and eat it from her hand.’ ”
[7] And Dawiḏ sent to Tamar, to the house, saying, “Please go to the house of your brother Amnon, and make food for him.”
[10] And Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom. [11] And she brought them to him to eat, and he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.” [12] And she answered him, “No, my brother, do not humble (rape) me, for it is not done so in Yisra’ĕl. Do not do this wickedness!
[14] But he would not listen to her voice, and being stronger than she, he humbled (rape) her and lay with her. [15] Amnon then hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, go!”
[19] And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her long coat that was on her, and put her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly. [20] And Aḇshalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now, keep silent, my sister. He is your brother, do not take this matter to heart.” So Tamar remained in the house of her brother Aḇshalom, but was ruined. [21] And Sovereign Dawiḏ heard all these reports, and he was very wroth. [22] And Aḇshalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor evil. For Aḇshalom hated Amnon, because he had humbled (rape) his sister Tamar.
[28] And Aḇshalom had commanded his servants, saying, “Watch, and when the heart of Amnon is glad with wine, and I shall say to you, ‘Strike Amnon!’ then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and brave.” [29] Then the servants of Aḇshalom did to Amnon as Aḇshalom had commanded. Then all the sons of the sovereign rose up, and each one mounted his mule and fled.
[31] And the sovereign rose up and tore his garments and lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their garments torn. [32] And Yonaḏaḇ son of Shim‛ah, Dawiḏ’s brother, answered and said, “Do not let my master say they have killed all the young men, the sons of the sovereign, for only Amnon is dead. For by the mouth of Aḇshalom this has been appointed from the day that he humbled (rape) his sister Tamar.
