2 Samuel 13:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Amnon was so worked up that he made himself sick because of his sister Tamar. She was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for Amnon to do anything with her.

³ Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was a son of David’s brother Shimeah.^[a] Jonadab was a very clever man. ⁴ Jonadab said to Amnon, “Why do you, the king’s son, look so tired every morning? Won’t you tell me?”

Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”
