“ You will be engaged to a woman, but another man will sleep with her. You will build a house, but someone else will live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will never enjoy its fruit.

Ahithophel told him,“ Go and sleep with your father’s concubines, for he has left them here to look after the palace. Then all Israel will know that you have insulted your father beyond hope of reconciliation, and they will throw their support to you.”So they set up a tent on the palace roof where everyone could see it, and Absalom went in and had sex with his father’s concubines.

Absalom told his men,“ Wait until Amnon gets drunk; then at my signal, kill him! Don’t be afraid. I’m the one who has given the command. Take courage and do it!”So at Absalom’s signal they murdered Amnon. Then the other sons of the king jumped on their mules and fled.

Absalom did this with everyone who came to the king for judgment, and so he stole the hearts of all the people of Israel.

But while he was there, he sent secret messengers to all the tribes of Israel to stir up a rebellion against the king.“ As soon as you hear the ram’s horn,” his message read,“ you are to say,‘ Absalom has been crowned king in Hebron.’”

Now David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. And Amnon, her half brother, fell desperately in love with her.Amnon became so obsessed with Tamar that he became ill. She was a virgin, and Amnon thought he could never have her.But Amnon had a very crafty friend— his cousin Jonadab. He was the son of David’s brother Shimea.One day Jonadab said to Amnon,“ What’s the trouble? Why should the son of a king look so dejected morning after morning?” So Amnon told him,“ I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”“ Well,” Jonadab said,“ I’ll tell you what to do. Go back to bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, ask him to let Tamar come and prepare some food for you. Tell him you’ll feel better if she prepares it as you watch and feeds you with her own hands.”So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick. And when the king came to see him, Amnon asked him,“ Please let my sister Tamar come and cook my favorite dish as I watch. Then I can eat it from her own hands.”So David agreed and sent Tamar to Amnon’s house to prepare some food for him.When Tamar arrived at Amnon’s house, she went to the place where he was lying down so he could watch her mix some dough. Then she baked his favorite dish for him.But when she set the serving tray before him, he refused to eat.“ Everyone get out of here,” Amnon told his servants. So they all left.Then he said to Tamar,“ Now bring the food into my bedroom and feed it to me here.” So Tamar took his favorite dish to him.But as she was feeding him, he grabbed her and demanded,“ Come to bed with me, my darling sister.”“ No, my brother!” she cried.“ Don’t be foolish! Don’t do this to me! Such wicked things aren’t done in Israel.Where could I go in my shame? And you would be called one of the greatest fools in Israel. Please, just speak to the king about it, and he will let you marry me.”But Amnon wouldn’t listen to her, and since he was stronger than she was, he raped her.

I gave them over to worthless decrees and regulations that would not lead to life.I let them pollute themselves with the very gifts I had given them, and I allowed them to give their firstborn children as offerings to their gods— so I might devastate them and remind them that I alone am the Lord.

They offer sacrifices to idols on the mountaintops. They go up into the hills to burn incense in the pleasant shade of oaks, poplars, and terebinth trees.“ That is why your daughters turn to prostitution, and your daughters in law commit adultery.But why should I punish them for their prostitution and adultery? For your men are doing the same thing, sinning with whores and shrine prostitutes. O foolish people! You refuse to understand, so you will be destroyed.

“‘ And if a prophet is deceived into giving a message, it is because I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet. I will lift my fist against such prophets and cut them off from the community of Israel.
