H9033–וֹ–o

And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.

אֲהֵבֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “him”

And he said to him, Why art thou, being the king's son, pining from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”לוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”

And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

לוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”אֵלָ֡יו (ו) v “him”

So Amnon lay down and made himself sick: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make for me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.

לִרְאֹת֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress meat for him.

ל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.

מֵעָלָֽיו׃ (ו) v “him”

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

אֵלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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

מְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

מְשָֽׁרְתוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “his”

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

ל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

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

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?

לוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”

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

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

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.

אֹת֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

לְבַדּ֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

Now therefore let not 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. 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.

אַחֲרָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

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

אֵלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other and slew him.

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

And behold, the whole family hath risen against thy handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they will quench my coal which is left, and will not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.

וּנְמִתֵ֙הוּ֙ (הוּ֙) hu “him”

And the king said, Whoever saith aught to thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.

וַֽהֲבֵאת֣וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

And the woman said, Why then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one who is faulty, in that the king doth not bring home again his banished.

נִדְּחֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.

מִמֶּ֖נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “him”
