H9033–וֹ–o

David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Yahweh loved him;

אֲהֵבֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “him”

He said to him, Why, son of the king, are you thus lean from day to day? Won't you tell me? Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”לוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”

Jonadab said to him, Lay you down on your bed, and feign yourself sick: and when your father comes to see you, tell him, Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.

לוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”אֵלָ֡יו (ו) v “him”

So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let her sister Tamar come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.

לִרְאֹת֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to your brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.

ל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, Have out all men from me. They went out every man from him.

מֵעָלָֽיו׃ (ו) v “him”

When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.

אֵלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

She answered him, No, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don't you do this folly.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

She said to him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is [supplied: worse] than the other that you did to me. But he would not listen to her.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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

מְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

She had a garment of various colors on her; for with such robes were the king's daughters who were virgins dressed. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

מְשָֽׁרְתוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “his”

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

ל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

The king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you. He pressed him: however he would not go, but blessed him.

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

Then said Absalom, If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us. The king said to him, Why should he go with you?

לוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”

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

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

Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark you now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, Smite Amnon, then kill him; don't be afraid; haven't I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

אֹת֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered, Don't let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

לְבַדּ֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

Now therefore don't let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.

לְבַדּ֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

But Absalom fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him.

אַחֲרָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

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

אֵלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

Your handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one struck the other, and killed him.

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

Behold, the whole family is risen against your handmaid, and they say, Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also. Thus will they quench my coal which is left, and will leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.

וּנְמִתֵ֙הוּ֙ (הוּ֙) hu “him”

The king said, Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he shall not touch you any more.

וַֽהֲבֵאת֣וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

The woman said, Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring home again his banished one.

נִדְּחֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

For we must needs die, and are as water split on the ground, which can't be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.

מִמֶּ֖נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “him”
