And she said to him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her.

וַתֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

Then he called his servant that ministered to him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.

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

And she had a garment of divers colors upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins appareled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

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

And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.

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

And Absalom her brother said to her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

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

But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.

וַיִּ֥חַר (וַ) va “and”

And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

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

And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.

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

And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable to thee. And he pressed him: yet he would not go, but blessed him.

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

Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?

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

But Absalom pressed him that he should let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

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

Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have I not commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

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

And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man rode upon his mule, and fled.

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

And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that information came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

וַֽיְהִי֙ (וַֽ) va “and”

Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

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

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

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

But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came many people by the way of the hillside behind him.

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, Behold, the king's sons come; as thy servant said, so it is.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept exceedingly.

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

But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

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

So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

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

And the soul of king David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

וַתְּכַל֙ (וַ) va. “and”

Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was towards Absalom.

וַיֵּ֖דַע (וַ) va “and”

And Joab sent to Tekoah, and brought thence a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:

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

And come to the king, and speak in this manner to him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.

וּבָאת֙ (וּ) u. “and”וְדִבַּ֥רְתְּ (וְ) ve. “and”וַיָּ֧שֶׂם (וַ) va “and”
