Then came forth Hamor, father of Shechem, unto Jacob, - to speak with him. Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field as soon as they heard, and the men were grieved, and it was vexing to them exceedingly, - for, a disgraceful deed, had he done with Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter, seeing that so, it should not be done. So then Hamor spake with them saying - As for Shechem my son, his soul hath be-come attached to your daughter, - I pray you give her to him, to wife. And exchange ye daughters with us in marriage, - your daughters, shall ye give to us, and our daughters, shall ye take to you.

But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and be gone. And their words looked fair in the eyes of Hamor, - and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor's son; and the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, - he, moreover being more honourable than all the house of his father. So Hamor entered with Shechem his son into the gate of their city, - and they spake unto the men of their city, saying: As for these men, in peace, they are with us - let them therefore dwell in the land and go through it, for, the land, lo! it is roomy on both hands before them, - their daughters, let us take to us for wives, and our daughters, let us give to them. Only herein, will the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, - If we circumcise to us every male, even as they are circumcised. Their herds and their substance, and all their beasts, shall they, not be, ours? Only, we must consent to them, that they may dwell with us. And they hearkened unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, even all that were going forth out of the gate of his city, - and every male was circumcised, all that were going forth out of the gate of his city.

So Amnon took to his bed, and feigned himself ill, - and, when the king came in to see him, Amnon said unto the king - I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make ready before mine eyes a couple of cakes, that I may eat at her hand. So David sent unto Tamar, in the house - saying, - Come, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and prepare him enticing food. And Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, he having taken to his bed, - and took dough and kneaded it, and folded it before his eyes, and baked the cakes. Then took she the pan and put them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said - Have forth every one from me. And they went out every one from him. Then said Amnon unto Tamar - Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat out of thine own hand. So Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them in to Amnon her brother, in the chamber. And, when she brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come lie with me, my sister! But she said to him - Nay! my brother, do not force me, for it should not be done so in Israel, - do not commit this vileness. And, I, - whither could I take my reproach? Thou, too, wouldest be as one of the vile fellows, in Israel. Now, therefore, speak, I pray thee, unto the king, for he would not withhold me from thee. But he would not hearken unto her voice, - and, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. Then did Amnon hate her with a very great hatred, for, greater, was the hatred wherewith he hated her, than the love wherewith he had loved her, - so Amnon said to her - Rise - begone! But she said to him - No occasion for this greater wrong, after what thou hast done with me, to put me away! Nevertheless he would not hearken unto her; but called his young man who waited on him, and said - I pray you, put forth this woman from me, outside, - and bolt the door after her. Now she had upon her a long tunic, for, so, used king's daughters to apparel themselves, when they were virgins, in robes. And his attendant took her forth, outside, and bolted the door, after her. And Tamar put ashes upon her head, and, the long tunic that was upon her, she rent, - and put her hand upon her head, and went her way, crying out as she went.

Then said Absolom, If not, then, I pray thee, let Amnon my brother go with us. And the king said unto him, Wherefore should he go with thee? And Absolom urged him, - so he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. Now Absolom had commanded his young men, saying - Mark, I pray you, when the heart of Amnon is merry with wine, and I say unto you - Smite ye Amnon, then shall ye put him to death, do not fear, - have not, I myself, commanded you? Be bold, and show yourselves to be sons of valour. So Absolom's young men did to Amnon as Absolom had commanded. Then arose all the king's sons, and rode away - each man on his mule, and fled. And it came to pass, while, they, were yet on the road, that, the report, reached David, saying, - Absolom hath smitten all the king's sons, and there is not left of them, one. And the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the ground, - and all his servants who stood by rent their garments. Then responded Jonadab son of Shimeah David's brother, and said - Let not my lord say that they have put, all the young men - the king's sons, to death; for, Amnon alone, is dead; for, by the bidding of Absolom, was it appointed, from the day that he forced Tamar his sister. Now, therefore, let not my lord the king lay to his heart such a thing - to say, All the king's sons, are dead, - but, Amnon alone, is dead. Now Absolom had fled. And the young man that was watching lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! much people, coming on the road behind him, on the mountain-side. So Jonadab said unto the king, Lo! the king's sons, are come, - according to the word of thy servant, so hath it come to pass. And so it was, as he made an end of speaking, that lo! the king's sons, came, and lifted up their voice and wept, - the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceeding great weeping.

Therefore will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, - And will establish for thee a covenant age-abiding. Thou shalt therefore remember thy ways and take to thyself reproach, by receiving thy sisters. The older than thou, And the younger than thou,- And I will give them unto thee for daughters Though not by thine own covenant. But I myself, will establish my covenant with thee - And thou shalt know that I, am Yahweh: To the end thou mayest remember and turn pale, and there be to thee no more, an opening of mouth, because of thy reproach,- In that I have accepted a propitiatory covering for thee as to all that thou hast done, Declareth My Lord.
