And she said to him, Not so, my brother, for this great wrong in sending me away is worse than what you did to me before. But he gave no attention to her.

וַתֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

Then he gave a cry to the servant who was waiting on him and said, Put this woman out, and let the door be locked after her.

וַיִּקְרָ֗א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Now she had on a long robe, such as in past times the king's virgin daughters were dressed in. Then the servant put her out, locking the door after her.

וַיֹּצֵ֨א (וַ) va “and”וְנָעַ֥ל (וְ) ve. “and”

And Tamar, in her grief, put dust on her head; and she put her hand on her head and went away crying loudly.

וַתִּקַּ֨ח (וַ) va. “and”וַתָּ֤שֶׂם (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֥לֶךְ (וַ) va. “and”וְזָעָֽקָה׃ (וְ) ve. “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַתֵּ֤שֶׁב (וַ) va. “and”

But when King David had news of all these things he was very angry; but he did not make trouble for Amnon his son, for he was dear to David, being his oldest son.

וַיִּ֥חַר (וַ) va “and”

Now after two full years, Absalom had men cutting the wool of his sheep in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim: and he sent for all the king's sons to come to his feast.

וַֽיְהִי֙ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיִּהְי֤וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְרָ֥א (וַ) va “and”

And Absalom came to the king and said, See now, your servant is cutting the wool of his sheep; will the king and his servants be pleased to come?

וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, or the number will be over-great for you. And he made his request again, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפְרָץ־ (וַ) va “and”וַֽיְבָרֲכֵֽהוּ׃ (וַֽ) Va “and”

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?

וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיִּפְרָץ־ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיְצַו֩ (וַ) va “and”וְאָמַרְתִּ֣י (וְ) ve. “and”וַהֲמִתֶּ֥ם (וַ) va. “and”

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.

וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֞וּ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיָּקֻ֣מוּ׀ (וַ) va “and”וַֽיִּרְכְּב֛וּ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיָּנֻֽסוּ׃ (וַ) va “and”

Now while they were on their way, news was given to David that Absalom had put to death all the sons of the king and that not one of them was still living.

וַֽיְהִי֙ (וַֽ) va “and”

Then the king got up in great grief, stretching himself out on the earth: and all his servants were by his side, with their clothing parted.

וַיָּ֧קָם (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְרַ֥ע (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁכַּ֣ב (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיַּ֡עַן (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

But Absalom went in flight. And the young man who kept the watch, lifting up his eyes, saw that a great band of people was coming down the slope by the way of the Horons; and the watchman came and gave word to the king, saying, I saw men coming down by t

וַיִּבְרַ֖ח (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשָּׂ֞א (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֗רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֥א (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגֵּ֖ד (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּאמַ֑ר (וַ) va “and”

And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.

וַיְהִ֣י׀ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּבְכּ֑וּ (וַ) va “and”

So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.

וַיֵּ֛לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתְאַבֵּ֥ל (וַ) va “and”

And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.

וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיְהִי־ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַתְּכַל֙ (וַ) va. “and”

Now it was clear to Joab, the son of Zeruiah, that the king's heart was turning to Absalom.

וַיֵּ֖דַע (וַ) va “and”

And Joab sent to Tekoa and got from there a wise woman, and said to her, Now make yourself seem like one given up to grief, and put on the clothing of sorrow, not using any sweet oil for your body, but looking like one who for a long time has been weepin

וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקַּ֥ח (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְהָיִ֕ית (וְ) ve. “and”

And come to the king and say these words to him. So Joab gave her words to say.
