H0550G–אַמְנוֹן–am.non

While David was in Hebron he became the father of sons: the oldest was Amnon, son of Ahinoam of Jezreel;

אַמְנ֔וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.

אַמְנ֥וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.

וּלְאַמְנ֣וֹן (אַמְנ֣וֹן) 'am.Non “Amnon”

And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

אַמְנ֔וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

So Amnon went to bed and made himself seem ill: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come and make me one or two cakes before my eyes, so that I may take food from her hand.

Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.

אַמְנ֣וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was in bed. And she took paste and made cakes before his eyes, cooking them over the fire.

אַמְנ֥וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.

אַמְנ֗וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.

אַמְנ֜וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”לְאַמְנ֥וֹן (אַמְנ֥וֹן) 'am.Non “Amnon”

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.

אַמְנ֗וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”אַמְנ֖וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

And her brother Absalom said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? but now, let there be an end to your crying, my sister: he is your brother, do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar went on living uncomforted in her brother's house.

הַאֲמִינ֣וֹן (אֲמִינ֣וֹן) 'a.mi.Non “Amnon”

But Absalom said nothing to his brother Amnon, good or bad: for he was full of hate for him, because he had taken his sister Tamar by force.

Then Absalom said, If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Is there any reason for him to go with you?

אַמְנ֣וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

But Absalom went on requesting him till he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a great feast like a feast for a king.

אַמְנ֔וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

Now Absalom had given orders to his servants, saying, Now take note when Amnon's heart is glad with wine; and when I say to you, Make an attack on Amnon, then put him to death without fear: have I not given you orders? be strong and without fear.

אַמְנ֤וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”אַמְנ֛וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

So Absalom's servants did to Amnon as Absalom had given them orders. Then all the king's sons got up, and every man got on his beast and went in flight.

לְאַמְנ֔וֹן (אַמְנ֔וֹן) 'am.Non “Amnon”

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, Let not my lord have the idea that all the sons of the king have been put to death; for only Amnon is dead: this has been purposed by Absalom from the day when he took his sister Tamar by force.

אַמְנ֥וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

So now, let not my lord the king take this thing to heart, with the idea that all the king's sons are dead: for only Amnon is dead.

אַמְנ֥וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.

אַמְנ֖וֹן 'am.Non “Amnon”

Now these were David's sons, whose birth took place in Hebron: the oldest Amnon, by Ahinoam of Jezreel; the second Daniel, by Abigail the Carmelite woman;
