And Judah [03063] took [03947] a wife [0802] for Er [06147] his firstborn [01060], whose name [08034] was Tamar [08559].
Then said [0559] Judah [03063] to Tamar [08559] his daughter in law [03618], Remain [03427] a widow [0490] at thy father's [01] house [01004], till Shelah [07956] my son [01121] be grown [01431]: for he said [0559], Lest peradventure he die [04191] also, as his brethren [0251] did. And Tamar [08559] went [03212] and dwelt [03427] in her father's [01] house [01004].
And it was told [05046] Tamar [08559], saying [0559], Behold thy father in law [02524] goeth up [05927] to Timnath [08553] to shear [01494] his sheep [06629].
And it came to pass about three [07969] months [02320] after, that it was told [05046] Judah [03063], saying [0559], Tamar [08559] thy daughter in law [03618] hath played the harlot [02181]; and also, behold, she is with child [02030] by whoredom [02183]. And Judah [03063] said [0559], Bring her forth [03318], and let her be burnt [08313].
And let thy house [01004] be like the house [01004] of Pharez [06557], whom Tamar [08559] bare [03205] unto Judah [03063], of the seed [02233] which the Lord [03068] shall give [05414] thee of this young woman [05291].
And it came to pass after [0310] this, that Absalom [053] the son [01121] of David [01732] had a fair [03303] sister [0269], whose name [08034] was Tamar [08559]; and Amnon [0550] the son [01121] of David [01732] loved [0157] her.
And Amnon [0550] was so vexed [03334], that he fell sick [02470] for his sister [0269] Tamar [08559]; for she was a virgin [01330]; and Amnon [0550] thought [05869] it hard [06381] for him to do [06213] any thing [03972] to her.Amnon thought…: Heb. it was marvellous, or, hidden in the eyes of Amnon
And he said [0559] unto him, Why art thou, being the king's [04428] son [01121], lean [01800] from day [01242] to day [01242]? wilt thou not tell [05046] me? And Amnon [0550] said [0559] unto him, I love [0157] Tamar [08559], my brother [0251] Absalom's [053] sister [0269].lean: Heb. thinfrom day…: Heb. morning by morning
And Jonadab [03082] said [0559] unto him, Lay thee down [07901] on thy bed [04904], and make thyself sick [02470]: and when thy father [01] cometh [0935] to see [07200] thee, say [0559] unto him, I pray thee, let my sister [0269] Tamar [08559] come [0935], and give [01262] me meat [03899], and dress [06213] the meat [01279] in my sight [05869], that I may see [07200] it, and eat [0398] it at her hand [03027].
So Amnon [0550] lay down [07901], and made himself sick [02470]: and when the king [04428] was come [0935] to see [07200] him, Amnon [0550] said [0559] unto the king [04428], I pray thee, let Tamar [08559] my sister [0269] come [0935], and make [03823] me a couple [08147] of cakes [03834] in my sight [05869], that I may eat [01262] at her hand [03027].
Then David [01732] sent [07971] home [01004] to Tamar [08559], saying [0559], Go [03212] now to thy brother [0251] Amnon's [0550] house [01004], and dress [06213] him meat [01279].
So Tamar [08559] went [03212] to her brother [0251] Amnon's [0550] house [01004]; and he was laid down [07901]. And she took [03947] flour [01217], and kneaded [03888] it, and made cakes [03823] in his sight [05869], and did bake [01310] the cakes [03834].flour: or, paste
And Amnon [0550] said [0559] unto Tamar [08559], Bring [0935] the meat [01279] into the chamber [02315], that I may eat [01262] of thine hand [03027]. And Tamar [08559] took [03947] the cakes [03834] which she had made [06213], and brought [0935] them into the chamber [02315] to Amnon [0550] her brother [0251].
And Tamar [08559] put [03947] ashes [0665] on her head [07218], and rent [07167] her garment [03801] of divers colours [06446] that was on her, and laid [07760] her hand [03027] on her head [07218], and went [03212] on [01980] crying [02199].
And Absalom [053] her brother [0251] said [0559] unto her, Hath Amnon [0550] thy brother [0251] been with thee? but hold now thy peace [02790], my sister [0269]: he is thy brother [0251]; regard [03820] [07896] not this thing [01697]. So Tamar [08559] remained [03427] desolate [08074] in her brother [0251] Absalom's [053] house [01004].Amnon: Heb. Aminonregard…: Heb. set not thy heartdesolate: Heb. and desolate
And Absalom [053] spake [01696] unto his brother Amnon [0550] neither good [02896] nor bad [07451]: for Absalom [053] hated [08130] Amnon [0550], because [01697] he had forced [06031] his sister [0269] Tamar [08559].
And Jonadab [03122], the son [01121] of Shimeah [08093] David's [01732] brother [0251], answered [06030] and said [0559], Let not my lord [0113] suppose [0559] that they have slain [04191] all the young men [05288] the king's [04428] sons [01121]; for Amnon [0550] only is dead [04191]: for by the appointment [06310] of Absalom [053] this hath been determined [07760] from the day [03117] that he forced [06031] his sister [0269] Tamar [08559].appointment: Heb. mouthdetermined: or, settled
And unto Absalom [053] there were born [03205] three [07969] sons [01121], and one [0259] daughter [01323], whose name [08034] was Tamar [08559]: she was a woman [0802] of a fair [03303] countenance [04758].
And Tamar [08559] his daughter in law [03618] bare [03205] him Pharez [06557] and Zerah [02226]. All the sons [01121] of Judah [03063] were five [02568].
These were all the sons [01121] of David [01732], beside the sons [01121] of the concubines [06370], and Tamar [08559] their sister [0269].
And the south [05045] side [06285] southward [08486], from Tamar [08559] even to the waters [04325] of strife [04809] [04808] in Kadesh [06946], the river [05158] to the great [01419] sea [03220]. And this is the south [08486] side [06285] southward [05045].strife: or, Meribahriver: or, valleyis the south side southward: or, is the south side toward Teman
And by the border [01366] of Gad [01410], at the south [05045] side [06285] southward [08486], the border [01366] shall be even from Tamar [08559] unto the waters [04325] of strife [04809] [04808] in Kadesh [06946], and to the river [05158] toward the great [01419] sea [03220].strife…: or, Meribah–kadesh
