2 Samuel 13:1-3
Living Bible
13 Prince Absalom, David’s son, had a beautiful sister named Tamar. And Prince Amnon (her half brother) fell desperately in love with her. 2 Amnon became so tormented by his love for her that he became ill. He had no way of talking to her, for the girls and young men were kept strictly apart.[a] 3 But Amnon had a very crafty friend—his cousin Jonadab (the son of David’s brother Shimeah).
