אֲהֵבֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her ha

לוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”אֵלָ֡יו (ו) v “him”

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.

לִרְאֹת֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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

ל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.

אֵלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

מְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

מְשָֽׁרְתוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “his”

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.

ל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

בּ֛וֹ (וֹ) o “him”וַֽיְבָרֲכֵֽהוּ׃ (הוּ) hu “him”

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?

לוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”

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.

בּ֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”אִתּוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”

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.

אֹת֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

לְבַדּ֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

לְבַדּ֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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

אַחֲרָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

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

אֵלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

And I had two sons, and the two of them had a fight in the field, and there was no one to come between them, and one with a blow put the other to death.

וַיַּכּ֧וֹ (וֹ) o “him”אֹתֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “him”

And now all the family is turned against me, your servant, saying, Give up him who was the cause of his brother's death, so that we may put him to death in payment for the life of his brother, whose life he took; and we will put an end to the one who wil

וּנְמִתֵ֙הוּ֙ (הוּ֙) hu “him”

And the king said, If anyone says anything to you, make him come to me, and he will do you no more damage.

וַֽהֲבֵאת֣וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

And the woman said, Why have you had such a thought about the people of God? (for in saying these very words the king has put himself in the wrong because he has not taken back the one whom he sent far away.)

נִדְּחֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

For death comes to us all, and we are like water drained out on the earth, which it is not possible to take up again; and God will not take away the life of the man whose purpose is that he who has been sent away may not be completely cut off from him.
