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

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

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

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

And
Absalom her
brother said unto 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.

But when

things, he was
very wroth.

And
Absalom spake unto his brother
Amnon neither
good nor
bad: for
Absalom hated Amnon, because he had
forced his
sister Tamar.

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

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

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

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