2 Samuel 12:12For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”2 Samuel 12:14However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die.”2 Samuel 13:1It happened after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.2 Samuel 13:2Amnon was so troubled 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.2 Samuel 13:3But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.2 Samuel 13:4He 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.”2 Samuel 13:5Jonadab 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 dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.’”2 Samuel 13:6So 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.”2 Samuel 13:7Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”2 Samuel 13:8So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. She took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.2 Samuel 13:9She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Every man went out from him.2 Samuel 13:10Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.2 Samuel 13:11When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister!”2 Samuel 13:12She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don’t you do this folly.2 Samuel 13:13I, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.”2 Samuel 13:14However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.2 Samuel 13:15Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”2 Samuel 13:16She said to him, “Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me!” But he would not listen to her.2 Samuel 13:17Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.”2 Samuel 13:18She had a garment of various colors on her; for with such robes were the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.2 Samuel 13:19Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.2 Samuel 13:20Absalom 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.2 Samuel 16:22So they spread Absalom a tent on the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.Job 24:15The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye shall see me.’ He disguises his face.Job 24:16In the dark they dig through houses.
