2 Samuel 13:4 in Context — 2 Samuel 13
2 Amnon était tourmenté jusqu’à se rendre malade à cause de Tamar, sa sœur; car elle était vierge, et il paraissait difficile à Amnon de faire sur elle la moindre tentative.
3 Amnon avait un ami, nommé Jonadab, fils de Schimea, frère de David, et Jonadab était un homme très habile.
4 Il lui dit: Pourquoi deviens-tu, ainsi chaque matin plus maigre, toi, fils de roi? Ne veux-tu pas me le dire? Amnon lui répondit: J’aime Tamar, sœur d’Absalom, mon frère.
5 Jonadab lui dit: Mets-toi au lit, et fais le malade. Quand ton père viendra te voir, tu lui diras: Permets à Tamar, ma sœur, de venir pour me donner à manger; qu’elle prépare un mets sous mes yeux, afin que je le voie et que je le prenne de sa main.
6 Amnon se coucha, et fit le malade. Le roi vint le voir, et Amnon dit au roi: Je te prie, que Tamar, ma sœur, vienne faire deux gâteaux sous mes yeux, et que je les mange de sa main.
