And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.1 After some time, David’s son Amnon fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of David’s son Absalom. 2 Amnon was sick with frustration over his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed implausible for him to do anything to her. 3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah.

Won’t you tell me?” Amnon replied, “I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
