2 Samuel 13:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.

²⁰ And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.

²¹ And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.
