2 Samuel 13:2-4

Legacy Standard Bible

² And Amnon was so distressed because of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin. So it was hard in Amnon’s sight to do anything to her. ³ But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of ^[a](A)Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very ^[b]shrewd man. ⁴ And he said to him, “O son of the king, why are you so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” Then Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”
