2 Samuel 13 (Shmuel Bet) in Hebrew, Transliteration and English

13:1And it came to pass after this, that Avshalom (Absalom) the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

Vayehi aḥarei-ḥen ule'Avshalom ben-David aḥot yafah ushemah Tamar vaye'ehaveha Amnon ben-David.

אוַיְהִ֣י אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן וּלְאַבְשָׁל֧וֹם בֶּן־דָּוִ֛ד אָח֥וֹת יָפָ֖ה וּשְׁמָ֣הּ תָּמָ֑ר וַיֶּאֱהָבֶ֖הָ אַמְנ֥וֹן בֶּן־דָּוִֽד׃

13:2And Amnon was so distressed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

Vayetzer le'Amnon lehitḥalot ba'avur Tamar aḥoto ki vetulah hi vayipale be'einei Amnon la'asot lah me'umah.

בוַיֵּ֨צֶר לְאַמְנ֜וֹן לְהִתְחַלּ֗וֹת בַּֽעֲבוּר֙ תָּמָ֣ר אֲחֹת֔וֹ כִּ֥י בְתוּלָ֖ה הִ֑יא וַיִּפָּלֵא֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י אַמְנ֔וֹן לַעֲשֹ֥וֹת לָ֖הּ מְאֽוּמָה׃

13:3But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Yonadav (Jonadab), the son of Shim’ah (Shimeah) David’s brother; and Yonadav was a very subtle man.

Ule'Amnon rea ushemo Yonadav ben-Shim'ah aḥi David veYonadav ish ḥaḥam me'od.

גוּלְאַמְנ֣וֹן רֵ֗עַ וּשְׁמוֹ֙ יֽוֹנָדָ֔ב בֶּן־שִׁמְעָ֖ה אֲחִ֣י דָוִ֑ד וְי֣וֹנָדָ֔ב אִ֥ישׁ חָכָ֖ם מְאֹֽד׃

13:4And he said unto him, “Why are you, being the king’s son, so lean from day to day? Will you not tell me?” And Amnon said unto him, “I love Tamar, my brother Avshalom’s sister.”

Vayomer lo madua atah kaḥah dal ben-hameleḥ baboker baboker halo tagid li vayomer lo Amnon et-Tamar aḥot Avshalom aḥi ani ohev.

דוַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ מַדּ֣וּעַ אַ֠תָּה כָּ֣כָה דַּ֚ל בֶּן־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ בַּבֹּ֣קֶר בַּבֹּ֔קֶר הֲל֖וֹא תַּגִּ֣יד לִ֑י וַיֹּ֚אמֶר לוֹ֙ אַמְנ֔וֹן אֶת־תָּמָ֗ר אֲח֛וֹת אַבְשָׁלֹ֥ם אָחִ֖י אֲנִ֥י אֹהֵֽב׃

13:5And Yonadav said unto him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be sick; and when your father comes to see you, say unto him, ‘I pray you, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.’”

Vayomer lo Yehonadav sheḥav al-mishkaveḥa vehitḥal uva aviḥa lir'oteḥa ve'amarta elav tavo na Tamar aḥoti vetavreni leḥem ve'asetah le'einay et-habiryah lema'an asher er'eh ve'aḥalti miyadah.

הוַיֹּ֚אמֶר לוֹ֙ יְה֣וֹנָדָ֔ב שְׁכַ֥ב עַל־מִשְׁכָּבְךָ֖ וְהִתְחָ֑ל וּבָ֧א אָבִ֣יךָ לִרְאוֹתֶ֗ךָ וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֵלָ֡יו תָּ֣בֹא נָא֩ תָמָ֨ר אֲחוֹתִ֜י וְתַבְרֵ֣נִי לֶ֗חֶם וְעָשְׂתָ֚ה לְעֵינַי֙ אֶת־הַבִּרְיָ֔ה לְמַ֙עַן֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶרְאֶ֔ה וְאָכַלְתִּ֖י מִיָּדָֽהּ׃

13:6So Amnon lay down, and pretended to be sick; and when the king had come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, “I pray you, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.”

Vayishkav Amnon vayitḥal vayavo hameleḥ lir'oto vayomer Amnon el-hameleḥ tavo-na Tamar aḥoti utelabev le'einay shetei levivot ve'evreh miyadah.

ווַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב אַמְנ֖וֹן וַיִּתְחָ֑ל וַיָּבֹ֨א הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ לִרְאוֹת֗וֹ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַמְנ֚וֹן אֶל־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ תָּֽבוֹא־נָ֞א תָּמָ֣ר אֲחֹתִ֗י וּתְלַבֵּ֚ב לְעֵינַי֙ שְׁתֵּ֣י לְבִב֔וֹת וְאֶבְרֶ֖ה מִיָּדָֽהּ׃

13:7Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare him food.”

Vayishlaḥ David el-Tamar habaytah lemor leḥi na beit Amnon aḥiḥ va'asi-lo habiryah.

זוַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח דָּוִ֛ד אֶל־תָּמָ֖ר הַבַּ֣יְתָה לֵאמֹ֑ר לְכִ֣י נָ֗א בֵּ֚ית אַמְנ֣וֹן אָחִ֔יךְ וַעֲשִׂי־ל֖וֹ הַבִּרְיָֽה׃

13:8So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

Vateleḥ Tamar beit Amnon aḥiha vehu shoḥev vatikaḥ et-habatzek vatalash vatelabev le'einav vatevashel et-halevivot.

חוַתֵּ֣לֶךְ תָּמָ֗ר בֵּ֛ית אַמְנ֥וֹן אָחִ֖יהָ וְה֣וּא שֹׁכֵ֑ב וַתִּקַּ֨ח אֶת־הַבָּצֵ֚ק וַתָּ֙לָשׁ֙ (כתיב וַתָּ֙לָושׁ֙) וַתְּלַבֵּ֣ב לְעֵינָ֔יו וַתְּבַשֵּׁ֖ל אֶת־הַלְּבִבֽוֹת׃

13:9And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Have all men go out from me.” And they went out every man from him.

Vatikaḥ et-hamasret vatitzok lefanav vayema'en le'eḥol vayomer Amnon hotzi'u ḥol-ish me'alay vayetze'u ḥol-ish me'alav.

טוַתִּקַּ֚ח אֶת־הַמַּשְׂרֵת֙ וַתִּצֹ֣ק לְפָנָ֔יו וַיְמָאֵ֖ן לֶאֱכ֑וֹל וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אַמְנ֗וֹן הוֹצִ֚יאוּ כָל־אִישׁ֙ מֵֽעָלַ֔י וַיֵּצְא֥וּ כָל־אִ֖ישׁ מֵעָלָֽיו׃

13:10And Amnon said unto Tamar, “Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

Vayomer Amnon el-Tamar havi'i habiryah haḥeder ve'evreh miyadeḥ vatikaḥ Tamar et-halevivot asher asatah vatave le'Amnon aḥiha heḥaderah.

יוַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַמְנ֜וֹן אֶל־תָּמָ֗ר הָבִ֚יאִי הַבִּרְיָה֙ הַחֶדֶ֔ר וְאֶבְרֶ֖ה מִיָּדֵ֑ךְ וַתִּקַּ֣ח תָּמָ֗ר אֶת־הַלְּבִבוֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָֹ֔תָה וַתָּבֵ֛א לְאַמְנ֥וֹן אָחִ֖יהָ הֶחָֽדְרָה׃

13:11And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, “Come lie with me, my sister.”

Vatagesh elav le'eḥol vayaḥazek-bah vayomer lah bo'i shiḥvi imi aḥoti.

יאוַתַּגֵּ֥שׁ אֵלָ֖יו לֶֽאֱכֹ֑ל וַיַּֽחֲזֶק־בָּהּ֙ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָ֔הּ בּ֛וֹאִי שִׁכְבִ֥י עִמִּ֖י אֲחוֹתִֽי׃

13:12And she answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel; do not do this folly.

Vatomer lo al-aḥi al-te'aneni ki lo-ye'aseh ḥen beYisra'el al-ta'aseh et-hanevalah hazot.

יבוַתֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ אַל־אָחִי֙ אַל־תְּעַנֵּ֔נִי כִּ֛י לֹא־יֵֽעָשֶֹ֥ה כֵ֖ן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אַֽל־תַּעֲשֵֹ֖ה אֶת־הַנְּבָלָ֥ה הַזֹּֽאת׃

13:13And I, where shall I cause my shame to go? And as for you, you shall be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray you, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from you.”

Va'ani anah oliḥ et-ḥerpati ve'atah tihyeh ke'aḥad hanevalim beYisra'el ve'atah daber-na el-hameleḥ ki lo yimna'eni mimeka.

יגוַאֲנִ֗י אָ֚נָה אוֹלִיךְ֙ אֶת־חֶרְפָּתִ֔י וְאַתָּ֗ה תִּהְיֶ֛ה כְּאַחַ֥ד הַנְּבָלִ֖ים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְעַתָּה֙ דַּבֶּר־נָ֣א אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ כִּ֛י לֹ֥א יִמְנָעֵ֖נִי מִמֶּֽךָּ׃

13:14However he would not listen to her voice; but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

Velo avah lishmoa bekolah vayeḥezak mimenah vaye'aneha vayishkav otah.

ידוְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לִשְׁמֹ֣עַ בְּקוֹלָ֑הּ וַיֶּחֱזַ֚ק מִמֶּ֙נָּה֙ וַיְעַנֶּ֔הָ וַיִּשְׁכַּ֖ב אֹתָֽהּ׃

13:15Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, “Arise, be gone.”

Vayisna'eha Amnon sin'ah gedolah me'od ki gedolah hasin'ah asher sene'ah me'ahavah asher ahevah vayomer-lah Amnon kumi leḥi.

טווַיִּשְׂנָאֶ֣הָ אַמְנ֗וֹן שִׂנְאָה֙ גְּדוֹלָ֣ה מְאֹ֔ד כִּ֣י גְדוֹלָ֗ה הַשִּׂנְאָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר שְׂנֵאָ֔הּ מֵאַהֲבָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲהֵבָ֑הּ וַֽיֹּאמֶר־לָ֥הּ אַמְנ֖וֹן ק֥וּמִי לֵֽכִי׃

13:16And she said unto him, “There is no cause; this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that you did unto me.” But he would not listen to her.

Vatomer lo al-odot hara'ah hagedolah hazot me'aḥeret asher-asita imi leshaleḥeni velo avah lishmoa lah.

טזוַתֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ אַל־אוֹדֹ֞ת הָרָעָ֚ה הַגְּדוֹלָה֙ הַזֹּ֔את מֵאַחֶ֛רֶת אֲשֶׁר־עָשִֹ֥יתָ עִמִּ֖י לְשַׁלְּחֵ֑נִי וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לִשְׁמֹ֥עַֽ לָֽהּ׃

13:17Then he called his servant who ministered unto him, and said, “Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.”

Vayikra et-na'aro meshareto vayomer shilḥu-na et-zot me'alay haḥutzah une'ol hadelet aḥareha.

יזוַיִּקְרָ֗א אֶֽת־נַעֲרוֹ֙ מְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר שִׁלְחוּ־נָ֥א אֶת־זֹ֛את מֵעָלַ֖י הַח֑וּצָה וּנְעֹ֥ל הַדֶּ֖לֶת אַחֲרֶֽיהָ׃

13:18And she had a garment of many colors upon her; for with such robes were the king’s daughters who were virgins appareled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

Ve'aleha ketonet pasim ki ḥen tilbashna venot-hameleḥ habetulot me'ilim vayotze otah meshareto haḥutz vena'al hadelet aḥareha.

יחוְעָלֶ֙יהָ֙ כְּתֹ֣נֶת פַּסִּ֔ים כִּי֩ כֵ֨ן תִּלְבַּ֧שְׁן בְנוֹת־הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ הַבְּתוּלֹ֖ת מְעִילִ֑ים וַיֹּצֵ֨א אוֹתָ֚הּ מְשָֽׁרְתוֹ֙ הַח֔וּץ וְנָעַ֥ל הַדֶּ֖לֶת אַחֲרֶֽיהָ׃

13:19And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of many colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.

Vatikaḥ Tamar efer al-roshah uḥetonet hapasim asher aleha kara'ah vatasem yadah al-roshah vateleḥ haloḥ veza'akah.

יטוַתִּקַּ֨ח תָּמָ֥ר אֵ֙פֶר֙ עַל־רֹאשָׁ֔הּ וּכְתֹ֧נֶת הַפַּסִּ֛ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָלֶ֖יהָ קָרָ֑עָה וַתָּ֚שֶׂם יָדָהּ֙ עַל־רֹאשָׁ֔הּ וַתֵּ֥לֶךְ הָל֖וֹךְ וְזָעָֽקָה׃

13:20And Avshalom her brother said unto her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But hold now your peace, my sister; he is your brother; do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Avshalom’s house.

Vayomer eleha Avshalom aḥiha ha'Aminon aḥiḥ hayah imaḥ ve'atah aḥoti haḥarishi aḥiḥ hu al-tashiti et-libeḥ ladavar hazeh vateshev Tamar veshomemah beit Avshalom aḥiha.

כוַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלֶ֜יהָ אַבְשָׁל֣וֹם אָחִ֗יהָ הַאֲמִינ֣וֹן אָחִיךְ֘ הָיָ֣ה עִמָּךְ֒ וְעַתָּ֞ה אֲחוֹתִ֚י הַחֲרִ֙ישִׁי֙ אָחִ֣יךְ ה֔וּא אַל־תָּשִׁ֥יתִי אֶת־לִבֵּ֖ךְ לַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה וַתֵּ֚שֶׁב תָּמָר֙ וְשֹׁ֣מֵמָ֔ה בֵּ֖ית אַבְשָׁל֥וֹם אָחִֽיהָ׃

13:21But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.

Vehameleḥ David shama et kol-hadevarim ha'eleh vayiḥar lo me'od.

כאוְהַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֔ד שָׁמַ֕ע אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה וַיִּ֥חַר ל֖וֹ מְאֹֽד׃

13:22And Avshalom spoke unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad; for Avshalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

Velo-diber Avshalom im-Amnon lemera ve'ad-tov ki-sane Avshalom et-Amnon al-devar asher inah et Tamar aḥoto.

כבוְלֹֽא־דִבֶּ֧ר אַבְשָׁל֛וֹם עִם־אַמְנ֖וֹן לְמֵרָ֣ע וְעַד־ט֑וֹב כִּֽי־שָׂנֵ֚א אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ אֶת־אַמְנ֔וֹן עַל־דְּבַר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עִנָּ֔ה אֵ֖ת תָּמָ֥ר אֲחֹתֽוֹ׃

13:23And it came to pass after two full years, that Avshalom had sheepshearers in Ba’al Chatzor (Baal-hazor), which is beside Efrayim (Ephraim); and Avshalom invited all the king’s sons.

Vayehi lishnatayim yamim vayihyu gozezim le'Avshalom beVa'al Ḥatzor asher im-Efrayim vayikra Avshalom leḥol-benei hameleḥ.

כגוַֽיְהִי֙ לִשְׁנָתַ֣יִם יָמִ֔ים וַיִּהְי֚וּ גֹֽזְזִים֙ לְאַבְשָׁל֔וֹם בְּבַ֥עַל חָצ֖וֹר אֲשֶׁ֣ר עִם־אֶפְרָ֑יִם וַיִּקְרָ֥א אַבְשָׁל֖וֹם לְכָל־בְּנֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

13:24And Avshalom came to the king, and said, “Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech you, and his servants go with your servant.”

Vayavo Avshalom el-hameleḥ vayomer hineh-na gozezim le'avdeḥa yeleḥ-na hameleḥ va'avadav im-avdeḥa.

כדוַיָּבֹ֚א אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הִנֵּה־נָ֥א גֹזְזִ֖ים לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ יֵֽלֶךְ־נָ֥א הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וַעֲבָדָ֖יו עִם־עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃

13:25And the king said to Avshalom, “No, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be a burden unto you.” And he pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.

Vayomer hameleḥ el-Avshalom al-beni al-na neleḥ kulanu velo niḥbad aleḥa vayifratz-bo velo-avah laleḥet vayevaraḥehu.

כהוַיֹּ֨אמֶר הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ אֶל־אַבְשָׁל֗וֹם אַל־בְּנִי֙ אַל־נָ֚א נֵלֵךְ֙ כֻּלָּ֔נוּ וְלֹ֥א נִכְבַּ֖ד עָלֶ֑יךָ וַיִּפְרָץ־בּ֛וֹ וְלֹֽא־אָבָ֥ה לָלֶ֖כֶת וַֽיְבָרֲכֵֽהוּ׃

13:26Then said Avshalom, “If not, I pray you, let my brother Amnon go with us.” And the king said unto him, “Why should he go with you?”

Vayomer Avshalom valo yeleḥ-na itanu Amnon aḥi vayomer lo hameleḥ lamah yeleḥ imaḥ.

כווַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַבְשָׁל֔וֹם וָלֹ֕א יֵֽלֶךְ־נָ֥א אִתָּ֖נוּ אַמְנ֣וֹן אָחִ֑י וַיֹּ֚אמֶר לוֹ֙ הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ לָ֥מָּה יֵלֵ֖ךְ עִמָּֽךְ׃

13:27But Avshalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.

Vayifratz-bo Avshalom vayishlaḥ ito et-Amnon ve'et kol-benei hameleḥ.

כזוַיִּפְרָץ־בּ֖וֹ אַבְשָׁל֑וֹם וַיִּשְׁלַ֚ח אִתּוֹ֙ אֶת־אַמְנ֔וֹן וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

13:28Now Avshalom had commanded his servants, saying, “Watch now when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him, fear not; have not I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant.”

Vayetzav Avshalom et-ne'arav lemor re'u na ketov lev-Amnon bayayin ve'amarti aleiḥem haku et-Amnon vahamitem oto al-tira'u halo ki anoḥi tziviti etḥem ḥizku vihyu livnei-ḥayil.

כחוַיְצַו֩ אַבְשָׁל֨וֹם אֶת־נְעָרָ֜יו לֵאמֹ֗ר רְא֣וּ נָ֠א כְּט֨וֹב לֵב־אַמְנ֚וֹן בַּיַּ֙יִן֙ וְאָמַרְתִּ֣י אֲלֵיכֶ֔ם הַכּ֧וּ אֶת־אַמְנ֛וֹן וַהֲמִתֶּ֥ם אֹת֖וֹ אַל־תִּירָ֑אוּ הֲל֗וֹא כִּ֚י אָֽנֹכִי֙ צִוִּ֣יתִי אֶתְכֶ֔ם חִזְק֖וּ וִהְי֥וּ לִבְנֵי־חָֽיִל׃

13:29And the servants of Avshalom did unto Amnon as Avshalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up upon his mule, and fled.

Vaya'asu na'arei Avshalom le'Amnon ka'asher tzivah Avshalom vayakumu kol-benei hameleḥ vayirkevu ish al-pirdo vayanusu.

כטוַֽיַּעֲשֹ֞וּ נַעֲרֵ֚י אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ לְאַמְנ֔וֹן כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה אַבְשָׁל֑וֹם וַיָּקֻ֣מוּ ׀ כָּל־בְּנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ וַֽיִּרְכְּב֛וּ אִ֥ישׁ עַל־פִּרְדּ֖וֹ וַיָּנֻֽסוּ׃

13:30And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that tidings came to David, saying, “Avshalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.”

Vayehi hemah vadereḥ vehashemu'ah va'ah el-David lemor hikah Avshalom et-kol-benei hameleḥ velo-notar mehem eḥad.

לוַֽיְהִי֙ הֵ֣מָּה בַדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְהַשְּׁמֻעָ֣ה בָ֔אָה אֶל־דָּוִ֖ד לֵאמֹ֑ר הִכָּ֚ה אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ אֶת־כָּל־בְּנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וְלֹֽא־נוֹתַ֥ר מֵהֶ֖ם אֶחָֽד׃

13:31Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.

Vayakom hameleḥ vayikra et-begadav vayishkav aretzah veḥol-avadav nitzavim keru'ei vegadim.

13:32And Yonadav, the son of Shim’ah David’s brother, answered and said, “Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Avshalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

Vaya'an Yonadav ben-Shim'ah aḥi-David vayomer al-yomar adoni et kol-hane'arim benei-hameleḥ hemitu ki-Amnon levado met ki-al-pi Avshalom hayetah sumah miyom anoto et Tamar aḥoto.

13:33Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.”

Ve'atah al-yasem adoni hameleḥ el-libo davar lemor kol-benei hameleḥ metu ki Amnon levado met.

לגוְעַתָּ֡ה אַל־יָשֵׂם֩ אֲדֹנִ֨י הַמֶּ֚לֶךְ אֶל־לִבּוֹ֙ דָּבָ֣ר לֵאמֹ֔ר כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ מֵ֑תוּ כִּֽי (כתיב כִּֽי־אם) אַמְנ֥וֹן לְבַדּ֖וֹ מֵֽת׃

13:34But Avshalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came many people by the way of the hillside behind him.

Vayivraḥ Avshalom vayisa hana'ar hatzofeh et-einav vayar vehineh am-rav holeḥim midereḥ aḥarav mitzad hahar.

13:35And Yonadav said unto the king, “Behold, the king’s sons come; as your servant said, so it is.”

Vayomer Yonadav el-hameleḥ hineh venei-hameleḥ ba'u kidvar avdeḥa ken hayah.

להוַיֹּ֚אמֶר יֽוֹנָדָב֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ הִנֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ בָּ֑אוּ כִּדְבַ֥ר עַבְדְּךָ֖ כֵּ֥ן הָיָֽה׃

13:36And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.

Vayehi keḥaloto ledaber vehineh venei-hameleḥ ba'u vayis'u kolam vayivku vegam-hameleḥ veḥol-avadav baḥu beḥi gadol me'od.

לווַיְהִ֣י ׀ כְּכַלֹּת֣וֹ לְדַבֵּ֗ר וְהִנֵּ֚ה בְנֵֽי־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ בָּ֔אוּ וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ קוֹלָ֖ם וַיִּבְכּ֑וּ וְגַם־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ וְכָל־עֲבָדָ֔יו בָּכ֕וּ בְּכִ֖י גָּד֥וֹל מְאֹֽד׃

13:37But Avshalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

Ve'Avshalom baraḥ vayeleḥ el-Talmai ben-Amihud meleḥ Geshur vayit'abel al-beno kol-hayamim.

לזוְאַבְשָׁל֣וֹם בָּרַ֔ח וַיֵּ֛לֶךְ אֶל־תַּלְמַ֥י בֶּן־עַמִּיה֖וּד (כתיב עַמִּיח֖וּר) מֶ֣לֶךְ גְּשׁ֑וּר וַיִּתְאַבֵּ֥ל עַל־בְּנ֖וֹ כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃

13:38So Avshalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

Ve'Avshalom baraḥ vayeleḥ Geshur vayehi-sham shalosh shanim.

לחוְאַבְשָׁל֥וֹם בָּרַ֖ח וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ גְּשׁ֑וּר וַיְהִי־שָׁ֖ם שָׁל֥שׁ שָׁנִֽים׃

13:39And the soul of King David longed to go forth unto Avshalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

Vateḥal David hameleḥ latzet el-Avshalom ki-niḥam al-Amnon ki-met.
