10:012:031 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put
           them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of
           iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln:  and thus did
           he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon.  So David and
           all the people returned unto Jerusalem.

10:013:001 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David
           had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of
           David loved her.

10:013:002 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister
           Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him
           to do anything to her.

10:013:003 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of
           Shimeah David’s brother:  and Jonadab was a very subtil man.

10:013:004 And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean
           from day to day? wilt thou not tell me?  And Amnon said unto
           him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.

10:013:005 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make
           thyself sick:  and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto
           him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat,
           and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it
           at her hand.

10:013:006 So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick:  and when the king
           was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee,
           let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my
           sight, that I may eat at her hand.

10:013:007 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother
           Amnon’s house, and dress him meat.

10:013:008 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid
           down.  And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in
           his sight, and did bake the cakes.

10:013:009 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.

10:013:010 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber,
           that I may eat of thine hand.  And Tamar took the cakes which
           she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her
           brother.

10:013:011 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of
           her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.

10:013:012 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.

10:013:013 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee,
           thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel.  Now therefore, I
           pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me
           from thee.
