2 Samuel 13
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
13 At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na si Absalom na anak ni David ay mayroong isang kapatid na babae na maganda, na ang pangala'y Thamar; at sininta siya ni Amnon na anak ni David.
2 At si Amnon ay totoong nagdamdam, na anopa't siya'y nagkasakit dahil sa kaniyang kapatid na kay Thamar; sapagka't siya'y dalaga; at inaakala ni Amnon na mahirap gawan siya ng anomang bagay.
3 Nguni't si Amnon ay may isang kaibigan na ang pangala'y Jonadab, na anak ni Simea na kapatid ni David: at si Jonadab ay isang lalaking totoong magdaraya.
4 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Bakit, Oh anak ng hari, sa araw araw ay nangangayayat kang ganyan? hindi mo ba sasaysayin sa akin? At sinabi ni Amnon sa kaniya, Aking sinisinta si Thamar na kapatid ng aking kapatid na si Absalom.
5 At sinabi ni Jonadab sa kaniya, Mahiga ka sa iyong higaan, at magsakitsakitan ka: at pagka ang iyong ama ay naparoon upang tingnan ka, sabihin mo sa kaniya, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na bayaang ang aking kapatid na si Thamar ay pumarito, at bigyan ako ng tinapay na makakain, at maghanda ng pagkain sa aking paningin upang aking makita, at kanin sa kaniyang kamay.
6 Sa gayo'y nahiga si Amnon at nagsakitsakitan: at nang pumaroon ang hari upang tingnan siya, sinabi ni Amnon sa hari, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na bayaang pumarito ang aking kapatid na si Thamar, at igawa ako ng dalawang tinapay na maliit sa aking paningin upang aking makain sa kaniyang kamay.
7 Nang magkagayo'y nagsugo si David sa bahay kay Thamar, na sinasabi, Pumaroon ka ngayon sa bahay ng iyong kapatid na si Amnon, at ipaghanda mo siya ng pagkain.
8 Sa gayo'y naparoon si Thamar sa bahay ng kaniyang kapatid na si Amnon; at siya'y nakahiga. At siya'y kumuha ng isang masa, at minasa, at ginawang mga binilong tinapay sa kaniyang paningin, at niluto na mga munting tinapay.
9 At kinuha niya ang kawali, at mga ibinuhos sa harap niya; nguni't kaniyang tinanggihang kanin. At sinabi ni Amnon: Palabasin ang lahat na tao sa harap ko. At silang lahat ay lumabas, bawa't isa mula sa harap niya.
10 At sinabi ni Amnon kay Thamar: Dalhin mo rito sa silid ang pagkain, upang aking makain sa iyong kamay. At kinuha ni Thamar ang mga munting tinapay na kaniyang ginawa, at mga dinala sa silid kay Amnon na kaniyang kapatid.
11 At nang ilapit niya sa kaniya upang kanin, kaniyang tinangnan siya, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Halika, sumiping ka sa akin, kapatid ko.
12 At sumagot siya sa kaniya, Huwag kapatid ko, huwag mo akong dahasin; sapagka't hindi marapat gawin sa Israel ang ganyang bagay: huwag kang gumawa ng ganitong kaululan.
13 At ako, saan ko dadalhin ang aking hiya? at tungkol sa iyo, ikaw ay magiging gaya ng isa sa mga mangmang sa Israel. Ngayon nga, isinasamo ko sa iyo, magsalita ka sa hari, sapagka't hindi ipagkakait ako sa iyo.
14 Gayon ma'y hindi niya dininig ang kaniyang tinig: kundi palibhasa't siya'y malakas kay sa kaniya, dinahas niya siya, at sumiping sa kaniya.
15 Nang magkagayo'y kinapootan siya ni Amnon na may mahigpit na poot; sapagka't ang kapootan na kaniyang ikinapoot sa kaniya ay malaki kay sa pagsinta na kaniyang isininta sa kaniya. At sinabi ni Amnon sa kaniya, Bumangon ka, ikaw ay yumaon.
16 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Huwag ganyan, sapagka't itong malaking kasamaan sa pagpapalabas mo sa akin ay higit kay sa iba na iyong ginawa sa akin. Nguni't ayaw niyang dinggin siya.
17 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag niya ang kaniyang alipin na nagaalaga sa kaniya, at sinabi, Ilabas mo ang babaing ito sa harap ko, at itrangka mo ang pintuan pagkalabas niya.
18 At siya'y may suot na sarisaring kulay: sapagka't ang mga gayong kasuutan ang isinusuot ng mga anak na dalaga ng hari. Nang magkagayo'y inilabas siya ng kaniyang alipin at tinarangkahan ang pintuan pagkalabas niya.
19 At binuhusan ni Thamar ng mga abo ang kaniyang ulo, at hinapak ang kaniyang suot na sarisaring kulay na nakasuot sa kaniya; at kaniyang ipinatong ang kaniyang kamay sa kaniyang ulo, at ipinagpatuloy ang kaniyang lakad, na umiiyak ng malakas habang siya'y yumayaon.
20 At sinabi ni Absalom na kaniyang kapatid sa kaniya, Napasa iyo ba si Amnon na iyong kapatid? nguni't ngayo'y tumahimik ka, kapatid ko: siya'y iyong kapatid; huwag mong isapuso ang bagay na ito. Sa gayo'y si Thamar ay nagpighati sa bahay ng kaniyang kapatid na si Absalom.
21 Nguni't nang mabalitaan ng haring si David ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito, siya'y totoong napoot.
22 At hindi nagsalita si Absalom kay Amnon kahit mabuti o masama man; sapagka't pinagtaniman ni Absalom si Amnon dahil sa kaniyang dinahas ang kaniyang kapatid na si Thamar.
23 At nangyari, pagkatapos ng dalawang buong taon, na nagpagupit ng mga tupa si Absalom sa Baal-hasor na nasa siping ng Ephraim: at inanyayahan ni Absalom ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari.
24 At naparoon si Absalom sa hari, at sinabi niya, Narito ngayon, ang iyong lingkod ay nagpapagupit ng mga tupa; isinasamo ko sa iyo na ang hari at ang kaniyang mga lingkod ay magsiyaong kasama ng iyong lingkod.
25 At sinabi ng hari kay Absalom, Huwag anak ko, huwag tayong magsiyaong lahat, baka maging mabigat na pasan sa iyo. At pinilit niya siya: gayon ma'y hindi siya yumaon, kundi binasbasan siya.
26 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Absalom, Kung hindi isinasamo ko sa iyo, pasamahin mo sa amin ang aking kapatid na si Amnon. At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Bakit siya sasama sa iyo?
27 Nguni't pinilit siya ni Absalom, na anopa't kaniyang pinasama sa kaniya si Amnon at ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari.
28 At iniutos ni Absalom sa kaniyang mga lingkod na sinasabi, Tandaan ninyo ngayon, pagka ang puso ni Amnon ay sumaya dahil sa alak; at pagka ang aking sinabi sa inyo, Saktan ninyo si Amnon, patayin nga ninyo siya: huwag kayong mangatakot: hindi ba ako ang nagutos sa inyo? kayo nga'y magpakalakas, at magpakatapang.
29 At ginawa ng mga lingkod ni Absalom kay Amnon kung ano ang iniutos ni Absalom. Nang magkagayo'y nagsitindig ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari, at sumakay bawa't lalake sa kaniyang mula, at tumakas.
30 At nangyari, samantalang sila'y nasa daan, na ang balita ay dumating kay David, na sinasabi, Pinatay ni Absalom ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari, at walang nalabi isa man sa kanila.
31 Nang magkagayo'y bumangon ang hari at hinapak ang kaniyang mga suot, at humiga sa lupa; at lahat niyang mga lingkod ay nakatayo sa palibot na hapak ang kanilang mga suot.
32 At si Jonadab na anak ni Simea na kapatid ni David, ay sumagot at nagsabi, Huwag akalain ng aking panginoon na kanilang pinatay ang lahat ng mga binatang anak ng hari, sapagka't si Amnon lamang ang patay: sapagka't sa pasiya ni Absalom ay pinasiyahan ito mula sa araw na kaniyang dahasin ang kaniyang kapatid na si Thamar.
33 Ngayon nga'y huwag isapuso ng aking panginoon na hari ang bagay, na akalain ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari ay patay: sapagka't si Amnon lamang ang patay.
34 Nguni't si Absalom ay tumakas. At ang bataan na nagbabantay ay tumanaw ng kaniyang mga mata, at tumingin, at, narito, dumarating ay maraming tao sa daan na mula sa burol, sa likuran niya.
35 At sinabi ni Jonadab sa hari, Narito, ang mga anak ng hari ay nagsisidating: kung ano ang sinabi ng inyong lingkod, ay nagkagayon.
36 At nangyari pagkatapos niyang makapagsalita, na, narito, ang mga anak ng hari ay nagsidating, at inilakas ang kanilang tinig at nagsiiyak: at ang hari naman at ang lahat niyang mga lingkod ay nagsiiyak na mainam.
37 Nguni't tumakas si Absalom at naparoon kay Talmai na anak ni Amiud na hari sa Gessur. At tinangisan ni David ang kaniyang anak araw araw.
38 Sa gayo'y tumakas si Absalom at naparoon sa Gessur, at dumoong tatlong taon.
39 At pinanabikan ng haring David na paroonan si Absalom: sapagka't siya'y naaliw na tungkol kay Amnon yamang patay na.
2 Samuel 13
New International Version
Amnon and Tamar
13 In the course of time, Amnon(A) son of David fell in love with Tamar,(B) the beautiful sister of Absalom(C) son of David.
2 Amnon became so obsessed with his sister Tamar that he made himself ill. She was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her.
3 Now Amnon had an adviser named Jonadab son of Shimeah,(D) David’s brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd man. 4 He asked Amnon, “Why do you, the king’s son, look so haggard morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?”
Amnon said to him, “I’m in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 “Go to bed and pretend to be ill,” Jonadab said. “When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘I would like my sister Tamar to come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare the food in my sight so I may watch her and then eat it from her hand.’”
6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “I would like my sister Tamar to come and make some special bread in my sight, so I may eat from her hand.”
7 David sent word to Tamar at the palace: “Go to the house of your brother Amnon and prepare some food for him.” 8 So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made the bread in his sight and baked it. 9 Then she took the pan and served him the bread, but he refused to eat.
“Send everyone out of here,”(E) Amnon said. So everyone left him. 10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food here into my bedroom so I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the bread she had prepared and brought it to her brother Amnon in his bedroom. 11 But when she took it to him to eat, he grabbed(F) her and said, “Come to bed with me, my sister.”(G)
12 “No, my brother!” she said to him. “Don’t force me! Such a thing should not be done in Israel!(H) Don’t do this wicked thing.(I) 13 What about me?(J) Where could I get rid of my disgrace? And what about you? You would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king; he will not keep me from being married to you.” 14 But he refused to listen to her, and since he was stronger than she, he raped her.(K)
15 Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Get up and get out!”
16 “No!” she said to him. “Sending me away would be a greater wrong than what you have already done to me.”
But he refused to listen to her. 17 He called his personal servant and said, “Get this woman out of my sight and bolt the door after her.” 18 So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her. She was wearing an ornate[a] robe,(L) for this was the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king wore. 19 Tamar put ashes(M) on her head and tore the ornate robe she was wearing. She put her hands on her head and went away, weeping aloud as she went.
20 Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister; he is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” And Tamar lived in her brother Absalom’s house, a desolate woman.
21 When King David heard all this, he was furious.(N) 22 And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad;(O) he hated(P) Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar.
Absalom Kills Amnon
23 Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers(Q) were at Baal Hazor near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king’s sons to come there. 24 Absalom went to the king and said, “Your servant has had shearers come. Will the king and his attendants please join me?”
25 “No, my son,” the king replied. “All of us should not go; we would only be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he still refused to go but gave him his blessing.
26 Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon come with us.”
The king asked him, “Why should he go with you?” 27 But Absalom urged him, so he sent with him Amnon and the rest of the king’s sons.
28 Absalom(R) ordered his men, “Listen! When Amnon is in high(S) spirits from drinking wine and I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon down,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I given you this order? Be strong and brave.(T)” 29 So Absalom’s men did to Amnon what Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got up, mounted their mules and fled.
30 While they were on their way, the report came to David: “Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons; not one of them is left.” 31 The king stood up, tore(U) his clothes and lay down on the ground; and all his attendants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 But Jonadab son of Shimeah, David’s brother, said, “My lord should not think that they killed all the princes; only Amnon is dead. This has been Absalom’s express intention ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar. 33 My lord the king should not be concerned about the report that all the king’s sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
34 Meanwhile, Absalom had fled.
Now the man standing watch looked up and saw many people on the road west of him, coming down the side of the hill. The watchman went and told the king, “I see men in the direction of Horonaim, on the side of the hill.”[b]
35 Jonadab said to the king, “See, the king’s sons have come; it has happened just as your servant said.”
36 As he finished speaking, the king’s sons came in, wailing loudly. The king, too, and all his attendants wept very bitterly.
37 Absalom fled and went to Talmai(V) son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But King David mourned many days for his son.
38 After Absalom fled and went to Geshur, he stayed there three years. 39 And King David longed to go to Absalom,(W) for he was consoled(X) concerning Amnon’s death.

New King James Version
Amnon and Tamar
13 After this (A)Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was (B)Tamar; and (C)Amnon the son of David loved her. 2 Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her. 3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab (D)the son of Shimeah, David’s brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man. 4 And he said to him, “Why are you, the king’s son, becoming thinner day after day? Will you not tell me?”
Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 So Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’ ” 6 Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let Tamar my sister come and (E)make a couple of cakes for me in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”
7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Now go to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.” 8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes. 9 And she took the pan and placed them out before him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said, (F)“Have everyone go out from me.” And they all went out from him. 10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom. 11 Now when she had brought them to him to eat, (G)he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”
12 But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not [a]force me, for (H)no such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this (I)disgraceful thing! 13 And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; (J)for he will not withhold me from you.” 14 However, he would not heed her voice; and being stronger than she, he (K)forced her and lay with her.
15 Then Amnon hated her [b]exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”
16 So she said to him, “No, indeed! This evil of sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me.”
But he would not listen to her. 17 Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, “Here! Put this woman out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her.” 18 Now she had on (L)a robe of many colors, for the king’s virgin daughters wore such apparel. And his servant put her out and bolted the door behind her.
19 Then Tamar put (M)ashes on her head, and tore her robe of many colors that was on her, and (N)laid her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly. 20 And Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry. 22 And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon (O)neither good nor bad. For Absalom (P)hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Absalom Murders Amnon
23 And it came to pass, after two full years, that Absalom (Q)had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim; so Absalom invited all the king’s sons. 24 Then Absalom came to the king and said, “Kindly note, your servant has sheepshearers; please, let the king and his servants go with your servant.”
25 But the king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let us not all go now, lest we be a burden to you.” Then he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him.
26 Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.”
And the king said to him, “Why should he go with you?” 27 But Absalom urged him; so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, “Watch now, when Amnon’s (R)heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon!’ then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and [c]valiant.” 29 So the servants of Absalom (S)did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and each one got on (T)his mule and fled.
30 And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that news came to David, saying, “Absalom has killed all the king’s sons, and not one of them is left!” 31 So the king arose and (U)tore his garments and (V)lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn. 32 Then (W)Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered and said, “Let not my lord suppose they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. 33 Now therefore, (X)let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead. For only Amnon is dead.”
Absalom Flees to Geshur
34 (Y)Then Absalom fled. And the young man who was keeping watch lifted his eyes and looked, and there, many people were coming from the road on the hillside behind [d]him. 35 And Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the king’s sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.” 36 So it was, as soon as he had finished speaking, that the king’s sons indeed came, and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.
37 But Absalom fled and went to (Z)Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. 38 So Absalom fled and went to (AA)Geshur, and was there three years. 39 And [e]King David [f]longed to go to Absalom. For he had been (AB)comforted concerning Amnon, because he was dead.
