1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after³¹⁰ this,³⁶⁵¹ that Absalom⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² had a fair³³⁰³ sister,²⁶⁹ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Tamar;⁸⁵⁵⁹ and Amnon⁵⁵⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² loved¹⁵⁷ her.

2  And Amnon⁵⁵⁰ was so vexed,⁶⁸⁸⁷ that he fell sick²⁴⁷⁰ for⁵⁶⁶⁸ his sister²⁶⁹ Tamar;⁸⁵⁵⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ she¹⁹³¹ was a virgin;¹³³⁰ and Amnon⁵⁵⁰ thought⁵⁸⁶⁹ it hard⁶³⁸¹ for him to do⁶²¹³ any thing³⁹⁷² to her.

3  But Amnon⁵⁵⁰ had a friend,⁷⁴⁵³ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Jonadab,³¹²² the son¹¹²¹ of Shimeah⁸⁰⁹³ David's¹⁷³² brother:²⁵¹ and Jonadab³¹²² was a very³⁹⁶⁶ subtle²⁴⁵⁰ man.³⁷⁶

4  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why⁴⁰⁶⁹ art thou,⁸⁵⁹ being the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son,¹¹²¹ lean^{3602 1800} from day¹²⁴² to day?¹²⁴² wilt thou not³⁸⁰⁸ tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me? And Amnon⁵⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, I⁵⁸⁹ love^{157 853} Tamar,⁸⁵⁵⁹ my brother²⁵¹ Absalom's⁵³ sister.²⁶⁹

5  And Jonadab³¹²² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Lay thee down⁷⁹⁰¹ on⁵⁹²¹ thy bed,⁴⁹⁰⁴ and make thyself sick:²⁴⁷⁰ and when thy father¹ cometh⁹³⁵ to see⁷²⁰⁰ thee, say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ let my sister²⁶⁹ Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ come,⁹³⁵ and give¹²⁶² me meat,³⁸⁹⁹ and dress^{6213 853} the meat¹²⁷⁹ in my sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that^{4616 834} I may see⁷²⁰⁰ it, and eat³⁹⁸ it at her hand.^{4480 3027}

6  So Amnon⁵⁵⁰ lay down,⁷⁹⁰¹ and made himself sick:²⁴⁷⁰ and when the king⁴⁴²⁸ was come⁹³⁵ to see⁷²⁰⁰ him, Amnon⁵⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ let Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ my sister²⁶⁹ come,⁹³⁵ and make³⁸²³ me a couple⁸¹⁴⁷ of cakes³⁸³⁴ in my sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that I may eat¹²⁶² at her hand.^{4480 3027}

7  Then David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ home¹⁰⁰⁴ to⁴¹³ Tamar,⁸⁵⁵⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Go¹⁹⁸⁰ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ to thy brother²⁵¹ Amnon's⁵⁵⁰ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and dress⁶²¹³ him meat.¹²⁷⁹

8  So Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to her brother²⁵¹ Amnon's⁵⁵⁰ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and he¹⁹³¹ was laid down.⁷⁹⁰¹ And she took^{3947 853} flour,¹²¹⁷ and kneaded³⁸⁸⁸ it, and made cakes³⁸²³ in his sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and did bake^{1310 853} the cakes.³⁸³⁴

9  And she took^{3947 853} a pan,⁴⁹⁵⁸ and poured them out³³³² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him; but he refused³⁹⁸⁵ to eat.³⁹⁸ And Amnon⁵⁵⁰ said,⁵⁵⁹ Have out³³¹⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ from^{4480 5921} me. And they went out³³¹⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ man³⁷⁶ from^{4480 5921} him.

10  And Amnon⁵⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Tamar,⁸⁵⁵⁹ Bring⁹³⁵ the meat¹²⁷⁹ into the chamber,²³¹⁵ that I may eat¹²⁶² of thine hand.^{4480 3027} And Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ took^{3947 853} the cakes³⁸³⁴ which⁸³⁴ she had made,⁶²¹³ and brought⁹³⁵ them into the chamber²³¹⁵ to Amnon⁵⁵⁰ her brother.²⁵¹

11  And when she had brought⁵⁰⁶⁶ them unto⁴¹³ him to eat,³⁹⁸ he took hold²³⁸⁸ of her, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Come⁹³⁵ lie⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ me, my sister.²⁶⁹

12  And she answered⁵⁵⁹ him, Nay,⁴⁰⁸ my brother,²⁵¹ do not⁴⁰⁸ force⁶⁰³¹ me; for³⁵⁸⁸ no³⁸⁰⁸ such thing³⁶⁵¹ ought to be done⁶²¹³ in Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ do⁶²¹³ not⁴⁰⁸ thou ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁶³ folly.⁵⁰³⁹

13  And I,⁵⁸⁹ whither⁵⁷⁵ shall I cause ⁸⁵³ my shame²⁷⁸¹ to go?¹⁹⁸⁰ and as for thee,⁸⁵⁹ thou shalt be¹⁹⁶¹ as one²⁵⁹ of the fools⁵⁰³⁶ in Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the king;⁴⁴²⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ he will not³⁸⁰⁸ withhold⁴⁵¹³ me from⁴⁴⁸⁰ thee.

14  Howbeit he would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto her voice:⁶⁹⁶³ but, being stronger²³⁸⁸ than she, forced⁶⁰³¹ her, and lay with⁷⁹⁰¹ her.

15  Then Amnon⁵⁵⁰ hated⁸¹³⁰ her exceedingly;^{8135 1419 3966} so that³⁵⁸⁸ the hatred⁸¹³⁵ wherewith⁸³⁴ he hated⁸¹³⁰ her was greater¹⁴¹⁹ than the love^{4480 160} wherewith⁸³⁴ he had loved¹⁵⁷ her. And Amnon⁵⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ be gone.¹⁹⁸⁰

16  And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, There is no⁴⁰⁸ cause:¹⁸² this²⁰⁶³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in sending me away⁷⁹⁷¹ is greater¹⁴¹⁹ than the other^{4480 312} that⁸³⁴ thou didst⁶²¹³ unto⁵⁹⁷³ me. But he would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto her.

17  Then he called^{7121 853} his servant⁵²⁸⁸ that ministered⁸³³⁴ unto him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Put⁷⁹⁷¹ now^{4994 853} this²⁰⁶³ woman out from me,^{4480 5921 2351} and bolt⁵²⁷⁴ the door¹⁸¹⁷ after³¹⁰ her.

18  And she had a garment³⁸⁰¹ of divers colors⁶⁴⁴⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ her: for³⁵⁸⁸ with such³⁶⁵¹ robes⁴⁵⁹⁸ were the king's⁴⁴²⁸ daughters¹³²³ that were virgins¹³³⁰ appareled.³⁸⁴⁷ Then his servant⁸³³⁴ brought³³¹⁸ her out,²³⁵¹ and bolted⁵²⁷⁴ the door¹⁸¹⁷ after³¹⁰ her.

19  And Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ put³⁹⁴⁷ ashes⁶⁶⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ her head,⁷²¹⁸ and rent⁷¹⁶⁷ her garment³⁸⁰¹ of divers colors⁶⁴⁴⁶ that⁸³⁴ was on⁵⁹²¹ her, and laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ her hand³⁰²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ her head,⁷²¹⁸ and went on^{1980 1980} crying.²¹⁹⁹

20  And Absalom⁵³ her brother²⁵¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ her, Hath Amnon⁵⁵⁰ thy brother²⁵¹ been¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee? but hold²⁷⁹⁰ now⁶²⁵⁸ thy peace, my sister:²⁶⁹ he¹⁹³¹ is thy brother;²⁵¹ regard^{7896 853 3820} not⁴⁰⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ thing.¹⁶⁹⁷ So Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ remained³⁴²⁷ desolate⁸⁰⁷⁴ in her brother²⁵¹ Absalom's⁵³ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

21  But when king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ of ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ things,¹⁶⁹⁷ he was very³⁹⁶⁶ wroth.²⁷³⁴

22  And Absalom⁵³ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁵⁹⁷³ his brother Amnon⁵⁵⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ good²⁸⁹⁶ nor⁵⁷⁰⁴ bad:^{4480 7451} for³⁵⁸⁸ Absalom⁵³ hated^{8130 853} Amnon,⁵⁵⁰ because^{5921 1697 834} he had forced^{6031 853} his sister²⁶⁹ Tamar.⁸⁵⁵⁹

23  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after two full years,^{8141 3117} that Absalom⁵³ had¹⁹⁶¹ sheepshearers¹⁴⁹⁴ in Baal-hazor,¹¹⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ is beside⁵⁹⁷³ Ephraim:⁶⁶⁹ and Absalom⁵³ invited⁷¹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons.¹¹²¹

24  And Absalom⁵³ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold²⁰⁰⁹ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ hath sheepshearers;¹⁴⁹⁴ let the king,⁴⁴²⁸ I beseech thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ thy servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰

25  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Absalom,⁵³ Nay,⁴⁰⁸ my son,¹¹²¹ let us not⁴⁰⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ go,¹⁹⁸⁰ lest³⁸⁰⁸ we be chargeable³⁵¹³ unto⁵⁹²¹ thee. And he pressed⁶⁵⁵⁵ him: howbeit he would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ go,¹⁹⁸⁰ but blessed¹²⁸⁸ him.

26  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Absalom,⁵³ If not,³⁸⁰⁸ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ let my brother²⁵¹ Amnon⁵⁵⁰ go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ us. And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why⁴¹⁰⁰ should he go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee?

27  But Absalom⁵³ pressed⁶⁵⁵⁵ him, that he let ⁸⁵³ Amnon⁵⁵⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons¹¹²¹ go⁷⁹⁷¹ with⁸⁵⁴ him.

28  Now Absalom⁵³ had commanded^{6680 853} his servants,⁵²⁸⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Mark⁷²⁰⁰ ye now⁴⁹⁹⁴ when Amnon's⁵⁵⁰ heart³⁸²⁰ is merry²⁸⁹⁵ with wine,³¹⁹⁶ and when I say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ you, Smite^{5221 853} Amnon;⁵⁵⁰ then kill⁴¹⁹¹ him, fear³³⁷² not:⁴⁰⁸ have not³⁸⁰⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ you? be courageous,²³⁸⁸ and be¹⁹⁶¹ valiant.^{1121 2428}

29  And the servants⁵²⁸⁸ of Absalom⁵³ did⁶²¹³ unto Amnon⁵⁵⁰ as⁸³⁴ Absalom⁵³ had commanded.⁶⁶⁸⁰ Then all³⁶⁰⁵ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons¹¹²¹ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and every man³⁷⁶ got him up⁷³⁹² upon⁵⁹²¹ his mule,⁶⁵⁰⁵ and fled.⁵¹²⁷

30  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ while they¹⁹⁹² were in the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ that tidings⁸⁰⁵² came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Absalom⁵³ hath slain^{5221 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons,¹¹²¹ and there is not³⁸⁰⁸ one²⁵⁹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them left.³⁴⁹⁸

31  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and tore^{7167 853} his garments,⁸⁹⁹ and lay⁷⁹⁰¹ on the earth;⁷⁷⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ stood by⁵³²⁴ with their clothes⁸⁹⁹ rent.⁷¹⁶⁷

32  And Jonadab,³¹²² the son¹¹²¹ of Shimeah⁸⁰⁹³ David's¹⁷³² brother,²⁵¹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Let not⁴⁰⁸ my lord¹¹³ suppose⁵⁵⁹ that they have slain^{4191 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the young men⁵²⁸⁸ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons;¹¹²¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ Amnon⁵⁵⁰ only⁹⁰⁵ is dead:⁴¹⁹¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ by⁵⁹²¹ the appointment⁶³¹⁰ of Absalom⁵³ this hath been¹⁹⁶¹ determined⁷⁷⁶⁰ from the day^{4480 3117} that he forced^{6031 853} his sister²⁶⁹ Tamar.⁸⁵⁵⁹

33  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore let not⁴⁰⁸ my lord¹¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ take⁷⁷⁶⁰ the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ to⁴¹³ his heart,³⁸²⁰ to think⁵⁵⁹ that all³⁶⁰⁵ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons¹¹²¹ are dead:⁴¹⁹¹ for^{3588 518} Amnon⁵⁵⁰ only⁹⁰⁵ is dead.⁴¹⁹¹

34  But Absalom⁵³ fled.¹²⁷² And the young man⁵²⁸⁸ that kept the watch⁶⁸²² lifted up^{5375 853} his eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there came¹⁹⁸⁰ much⁷²²⁷ people⁵⁹⁷¹ by the way^{4480 1870} of the hill side^{4480 6654 2022} behind³¹⁰ him.

35  And Jonadab³¹²² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons¹¹²¹ come:⁹³⁵ as thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ said,¹⁶⁹⁷ so³⁶⁵¹ it is.¹⁹⁶¹

36  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as soon as he had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of speaking,¹⁶⁹⁶ that, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons¹¹²¹ came,⁹³⁵ and lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their voice⁶⁹⁶³ and wept:¹⁰⁵⁸ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ also¹⁵⁷¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ wept¹⁰⁵⁸ very³⁹⁶⁶ sore.¹⁴¹⁹

37  But Absalom⁵³ fled,¹²⁷² and went¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Talmai,⁸⁵²⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ammihud,⁵⁹⁸⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Geshur.¹⁶⁵⁰ And David mourned⁵⁶ for⁵⁹²¹ his son¹¹²¹ every³⁶⁰⁵ day.³¹¹⁷

38  So Absalom⁵³ fled,¹²⁷² and went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Geshur,¹⁶⁵⁰ and was¹⁹⁶¹ there⁸⁰³³ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years.⁸¹⁴¹

39  And the soul of king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² longed³⁶¹⁵ to go forth³³¹⁸ unto⁴¹³ Absalom:⁵³ for³⁵⁸⁸ he was comforted⁵¹⁶² concerning⁵⁹²¹ Amnon,⁵⁵⁰ seeing³⁵⁸⁸ he was dead.⁴¹⁹¹

1 καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ υἱῷ Δαυιδ ἀδελφὴ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῇ Θημαρ καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὴν Αμνων υἱὸς Δαυιδ

2 καὶ ἐθλίβετο Αμνων ὥστε ἀρρωστεῖν διὰ Θημαρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ ὅτι παρθένος ἦν αὐτή καὶ ὑπέρογκον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Αμνων τοῦ ποιῆσαί τι αὐτῇ

3 καὶ ἦν τῷ Αμνων ἑταῖρος καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ιωναδαβ υἱὸς Σαμαα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυιδ καὶ Ιωναδαβ ἀνὴρ σοφὸς σφόδρα

4 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τί σοι ὅτι σὺ οὕτως ἀσθενής υἱὲ τοῦ βασιλέως τὸ πρωὶ πρωί οὐκ ἀπαγγελεῖς μοι καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Αμνων Θημαρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν Αβεσσαλωμ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ

5 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ιωναδαβ κοιμήθητι ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης σου καὶ μαλακίσθητι καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ πατήρ σου τοῦ ἰδεῖν σε καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν ἐλθέτω δὴ Θημαρ ἡ ἀδελφή μου καὶ ψωμισάτω με καὶ ποιησάτω κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμούς μου βρῶμα ὅπως ἴδω καὶ φάγω ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῆς

6 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Αμνων καὶ ἠρρώστησεν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἰδεῖν αὐτόν καὶ εἶπεν Αμνων πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἐλθέτω δὴ Θημαρ ἡ ἀδελφή μου πρός με καὶ κολλυρισάτω ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου δύο κολλυρίδας καὶ φάγομαι ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς

7 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Θημαρ εἰς τὸν οἶκον λέγων πορεύθητι δὴ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Αμνων τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου καὶ ποίησον αὐτῷ βρῶμα

8 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Θημαρ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Αμνων ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ αὐτὸς κοιμώμενος καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸ σταῖς καὶ ἐφύρασεν καὶ ἐκολλύρισεν κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἥψησεν τὰς κολλυρίδας

9 καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸ τήγανον καὶ κατεκένωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν φαγεῖν καὶ εἶπεν Αμνων ἐξαγάγετε πάντα ἄνδρα ἐπάνωθέν μου καὶ ἐξήγαγον πάντα ἄνδρα ἀπὸ ἐπάνωθεν αὐτοῦ

10 καὶ εἶπεν Αμνων πρὸς Θημαρ εἰσένεγκε τὸ βρῶμα εἰς τὸ ταμίειον καὶ φάγομαι ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου καὶ ἔλαβεν Θημαρ τὰς κολλυρίδας ἃς ἐποίησεν καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν τῷ Αμνων ἀδελφῷ αὐτῆς εἰς τὸν κοιτῶνα

11 καὶ προσήγαγεν αὐτῷ τοῦ φαγεῖν καὶ ἐπελάβετο αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ δεῦρο κοιμήθητι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἀδελφή μου

12 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ μή ἄδελφέ μου μὴ ταπεινώσῃς με διότι οὐ ποιηθήσεται οὕτως ἐν Ισραηλ μὴ ποιήσῃς τὴν ἀφροσύνην ταύτην

13 καὶ ἐγὼ ποῦ ἀποίσω τὸ ὄνειδός μου καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀφρόνων ἐν Ισραηλ καὶ νῦν λάλησον δὴ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ὅτι οὐ μὴ κωλύσῃ με ἀπὸ σοῦ

14 καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν Αμνων τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς καὶ ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ αὐτὴν καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ᾽ αὐτῆς

15 καὶ ἐμίσησεν αὐτὴν Αμνων μῖσος μέγα σφόδρα ὅτι μέγα τὸ μῖσος ὃ ἐμίσησεν αὐτήν ὑπὲρ τὴν ἀγάπην ἣν ἠγάπησεν αὐτήν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Αμνων ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύου

16 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Θημαρ μή ἄδελφε ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ κακία ἡ ἐσχάτη ὑπὲρ τὴν πρώτην ἣν ἐποίησας μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ τοῦ ἐξαποστεῖλαί με καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν Αμνων ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς

17 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ τὸν προεστηκότα τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἐξαποστείλατε δὴ ταύτην ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἔξω καὶ ἀπόκλεισον τὴν θύραν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς

18 καὶ ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς ἦν χιτὼν καρπωτός ὅτι οὕτως ἐνεδιδύσκοντο αἱ θυγατέρες τοῦ βασιλέως αἱ παρθένοι τοὺς ἐπενδύτας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτὴν ὁ λειτουργὸς αὐτοῦ ἔξω καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὴν θύραν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς

19 καὶ ἔλαβεν Θημαρ σποδὸν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα τὸν καρπωτὸν τὸν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς διέρρηξεν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπορεύθη πορευομένη καὶ κράζουσα

20 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὴν Αβεσσαλωμ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτῆς μὴ Αμνων ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἐγένετο μετὰ σοῦ καὶ νῦν ἀδελφή μου κώφευσον ὅτι ἀδελφός σού ἐστιν μὴ θῇς τὴν καρδίαν σου τοῦ λαλῆσαι εἰς τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ ἐκάθισεν Θημαρ χηρεύουσα ἐν οἴκῳ Αβεσσαλωμ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῆς

21 καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυιδ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ ἐθυμώθη σφόδρα καὶ οὐκ ἐλύπησεν τὸ πνεῦμα Αμνων τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἠγάπα αὐτόν ὅτι πρωτότοκος αὐτοῦ ἦν

22 καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν Αβεσσαλωμ μετὰ Αμνων ἀπὸ πονηροῦ ἕως ἀγαθοῦ ὅτι ἐμίσει Αβεσσαλωμ τὸν Αμνων ἐπὶ λόγου οὗ ἐταπείνωσεν Θημαρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ

23 καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς διετηρίδα ἡμερῶν καὶ ἦσαν κείροντες τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ ἐν Βελασωρ τῇ ἐχόμενα Εφραιμ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Αβεσσαλωμ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως

24 καὶ ἦλθεν Αβεσσαλωμ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ δὴ κείρουσιν τῷ δούλῳ σου πορευθήτω δὴ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου

25 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ μὴ δή υἱέ μου μὴ πορευθῶμεν πάντες ἡμεῖς καὶ οὐ μὴ καταβαρυνθῶμεν ἐπὶ σέ καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτόν καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν τοῦ πορευθῆναι καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτόν

26 καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ εἰ μή πορευθήτω δὴ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν Αμνων ὁ ἀδελφός μου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς ἵνα τί πορευθῇ μετὰ σοῦ

27 καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτὸν Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὸν Αμνων καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐποίησεν Αβεσσαλωμ πότον κατὰ τὸν πότον τοῦ βασιλέως

28 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Αβεσσαλωμ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ λέγων ἴδετε ὡς ἂν ἀγαθυνθῇ ἡ καρδία Αμνων ἐν τῷ οἴνῳ καὶ εἴπω πρὸς ὑμᾶς πατάξατε τὸν Αμνων καὶ θανατώσατε αὐτόν μὴ φοβηθῆτε ὅτι οὐχὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν ἀνδρίζεσθε καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς υἱοὺς δυνάμεως

29 καὶ ἐποίησαν τὰ παιδάρια Αβεσσαλωμ τῷ Αμνων καθὰ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ ἀνέστησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐπεκάθισαν ἀνὴρ ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔφυγαν

30 καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν ὄντων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ἡ ἀκοὴ ἦλθεν πρὸς Δαυιδ λέγων ἐπάταξεν Αβεσσαλωμ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐδὲ εἷς

31 καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ οἱ περιεστῶτες αὐτῷ διέρρηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν

32 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ιωναδαβ υἱὸς Σαμαα ἀδελφοῦ Δαυιδ καὶ εἶπεν μὴ εἰπάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ὅτι πάντα τὰ παιδάρια τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως ἐθανάτωσεν ὅτι Αμνων μονώτατος ἀπέθανεν ὅτι ἐπὶ στόματος Αβεσσαλωμ ἦν κείμενος ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἐταπείνωσεν Θημαρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ

33 καὶ νῦν μὴ θέσθω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ῥῆμα λέγων πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ἀπέθαναν ὅτι ἀλλ᾽ ἢ Αμνων μονώτατος ἀπέθανεν

34 καὶ ἀπέδρα Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ ἦρεν τὸ παιδάριον ὁ σκοπὸς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἰδοὺ λαὸς πολὺς πορευόμενος ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ ἐκ πλευρᾶς τοῦ ὄρους ἐν τῇ καταβάσει καὶ παρεγένετο ὁ σκοπὸς καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εἶπεν ἄνδρας ἑώρακα ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς Ωρωνην ἐκ μέρους τοῦ ὄρους

35 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναδαβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως πάρεισιν κατὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ δούλου σου οὕτως ἐγένετο

36 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα συνετέλεσεν λαλῶν καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ἦλθαν καὶ ἐπῆραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν καί γε ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσαν κλαυθμὸν μέγαν σφόδρα

37 καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ ἔφυγεν καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς Θολμαι υἱὸν Εμιουδ βασιλέα Γεδσουρ εἰς γῆν Μαχαδ καὶ ἐπένθησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυιδ ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

38 καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ ἀπέδρα καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Γεδσουρ καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἔτη τρία

39 καὶ ἐκόπασεν τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν ὀπίσω Αβεσσαλωμ ὅτι παρεκλήθη ἐπὶ Αμνων ὅτι ἀπέθανεν

1 Factum est autem post hæc ut Absalom filii David sororem speciosissimam, vocabulo Thamar, adamaret Amnon filius David,

2 et deperiret eam valde, ita ut propter amorem ejus ægrotaret: quia cum esset virgo, difficile ei videbatur ut quippiam inhoneste ageret cum ea.

3 Erat autem Amnon amicus nomine Jonadab, filius Semmaa fratris David, vir prudens valde.

4 Qui dixit ad eum: Quare sic attenuaris macie, fili regis, per singulos dies? cur non indicas mihi? Dixitque ei Amnon: Thamar sororem fratris mei Absalom amo.

5 Cui respondit Jonadab: Cuba super lectum tuum, et languorem simula: cumque venerit pater tuus ut visitet te, dic ei: Veniat, oro, Thamar soror mea, ut det mihi cibum, et faciat pulmentum, ut comedam de manu ejus.

6 Accubuit itaque Amnon, et quasi ægrotare cœpit: cumque venisset rex ad visitandum eum, ait Amnon ad regem: Veniat, obsecro, Thamar soror mea, ut faciat in oculis meis duas sorbitiunculas, et cibum capiam de manu ejus.

7 Misit ergo David ad Thamar domum, dicens: Veni in domum Amnon fratris tui, et fac ei pulmentum.

8 Venitque Thamar in domum Amnon fratris sui: ille autem jacebat. Quæ tollens farinam commiscuit, et liquefaciens, in oculis ejus coxit sorbitiunculas.

9 Tollensque quod coxerat, effudit, et posuit coram eo, et noluit comedere: dixitque Amnon: Ejicite universos a me. Cumque ejecissent omnes,

10 dixit Amnon ad Thamar: Infer cibum in conclave, ut vescar de manu tua. Tulit ergo Thamar sorbitiunculas quas fecerat, et intulit ad Amnon fratrem suum in conclave.

11 Cumque obtulisset ei cibum, apprehendit eam, et ait: Veni, cuba mecum, soror mea.

12 Quæ respondit ei: Noli frater mi, noli opprimere me: neque enim hoc fas est in Israël: noli facere stultitiam hanc.

13 Ego enim ferre non potero opprobrium meum, et tu eris quasi unus de insipientibus in Israël: quin potius loquere ad regem, et non negabit me tibi.

14 Noluit autem acquiescere precibus ejus, sed prævalens viribus oppressit eam, et cubavit cum ea.

15 Et exosam eam habuit Amnon odio magno nimis: ita ut majus esset odium quo oderat eam, amore quo ante dilexerat. Dixitque ei Amnon: Surge, et vade.

16 Quæ respondit ei: Majus est hoc malum quod nunc agis adversum me, quam quod ante fecisti, expellens me. Et noluit audire eam:

17 sed vocato puero qui ministrabat ei, dixit: Ejice hanc a me foras, et claude ostium post eam.

18 Quæ induta erat talari tunica: hujuscemodi enim filiæ regis virgines vestibus utebantur. Ejecit itaque eam minister illius foras: clausitque fores post eam.

19 Quæ aspergens cinerem capiti suo, scissa talari tunica, impositisque manibus super caput suum, ibat ingrediens, et clamans.

20 Dixit autem ei Absalom frater suus: Numquid Amnon frater tuus concubuit tecum? sed nunc soror, tace: frater tuus est: neque affligas cor tuum pro hac re. Mansit itaque Thamar contabescens in domo Absalom fratris sui.

21 Cum autem audisset rex David verba hæc, contristatus est valde: et noluit contristare spiritum Amnon filii sui, quoniam diligebat eum, quia primogenitus erat ei.

22 Porro non est locutus Absalom ad Amnon nec malum nec bonum: oderat enim Absalom Amnon, eo quod violasset Thamar sororem suam.

23 Factum est autem post tempus biennii ut tonderentur oves Absalom in Baalhasor, quæ est juxta Ephraim: et vocavit Absalom omnes filios regis,

24 venitque ad regem, et ait ad eum: Ecce tondentur oves servi tui: veniat, oro, rex cum servis suis ad servum suum.

25 Dixitque rex ad Absalom: Noli fili mi, noli rogare ut veniamus omnes et gravemus te. Cum autem cogeret eum, et noluisset ire, benedixit ei.

26 Et ait Absalom: Si non vis venire, veniat, obsecro, nobiscum saltem Amnon frater meus. Dixitque ad eum rex: Non est necesse ut vadat tecum.

27 Coëgit itaque Absalom eum, et dimisit cum eo Amnon et universos filios regis. Feceratque Absalom convivium quasi convivium regis.

28 Præceperat autem Absalom pueris suis, dicens: Observate cum temulentus fuerit Amnon vino, et dixero vobis: Percutite eum, et interficite: nolite timere: ego enim sum qui præcipio vobis: roboramini, et estote viri fortes.

29 Fecerunt ergo pueri Absalom adversum Amnon sicut præceperat eis Absalom. Surgentesque omnes filii regis ascenderunt singuli mulas suas, et fugerunt.

30 Cumque adhuc pergerent in itinere, fama pervenit ad David, dicens: Percussit Absalom omnes filios regis, et non remansit ex eis saltem unus.

31 Surrexit itaque rex, et scidit vestimenta sua, et cecidit super terram: et omnes servi illius qui assistebant ei, sciderunt vestimenta sua.

32 Respondens autem Jonadab filius Semmaa fratris David, dixit: Ne æstimet dominus meus rex quod omnes pueri filii regis occisi sint: Amnon solus mortuus est, quoniam in ore Absalom erat positus ex die qua oppressit Thamar sororem ejus.

33 Nunc ergo ne ponat dominus meus rex super cor suum verbum istud, dicens: Omnes filii regis occisi sunt: quoniam Amnon solus mortuus est.

34 Fugit autem Absalom. Et elevavit puer speculator oculos suos, et aspexit: et ecce populus multus veniebat per iter devium ex latere montis.

35 Dixit autem Jonadab ad regem: Ecce filii regis adsunt: juxta verbum servi tui, sic factum est.

36 Cumque cessasset loqui, apparuerunt et filii regis: et intrantes levaverunt vocem suam, et fleverunt: sed et rex et omnes servi ejus fleverunt ploratu magno nimis.

37 Porro Absalom fugiens abiit ad Tholomai filium Ammiud regem Gessur. Luxit ergo David filium suum cunctis diebus.

38 Absalom autem cum fugisset, et venisset in Gessur, fuit ibi tribus annis.

39 Cessavitque rex David persequi Absalom, eo quod consolatus esset super Amnon interitu.
