10:013:014 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice:  but, being
           stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

10:013:015 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith
           he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved
           her.  And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

10:013:016 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.

10:013:017 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said,
           Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.

10:013:018 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.

10:013:019 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.

10:013:020 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.

10:013:021 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very
           wroth.

10:013:022 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: 
           for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister
           Tamar.

10:013:023 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.

10:013:024 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.

10:013:025 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.

10:013:026 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?

10:013:027 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s
           sons go with him.

10:013:028 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now
           when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto
           you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not:  have not I
           commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

10:013:029 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had
           commanded.  Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man gat
           him up upon his mule, and fled.
