## 2 Samuel 13:15-22 in Context (Verses 12–25 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/12) 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.**
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/13) 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.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/14) Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/15) ¶ 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.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/16) 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.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/17) Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this *woman* out from me, and bolt the door after her.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/18) 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.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/19) ¶ 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.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/20) 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.***
 
 [21 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/21) ¶ But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/22) And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/23) ¶ And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which *is* beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/24) 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.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/2-samuel/13/25) 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.
