2 Samuel 13:4 in Context — 2 Samuel 13
2 E estava Amnom angustiado até enfermar, por Tamar sua irmã: porque por ser ela virgem, parecia a Amnom que seria coisa difícil fazer-lhe algo.
3 E Amnom tinha um amigo que se chamava Jonadabe, filho de Simeia, irmão de Davi: e era Jonadabe homem muito astuto.
4 E este lhe disse: Filho do rei, por que de dia em dia vais assim enfraquecendo? Não o revelarás a mim? Amnom lhe respondeu: Eu amo a Tamar a irmã de Absalão meu irmão.
5 E Jonadabe lhe disse: Deita-te em tua cama, e finge que estás enfermo; e quando teu pai vier a visitar-te, dize-lhe: Rogo-te que venha minha irmã Tamar, para que me conforte com alguma comida, e prepare diante de mim alguma iguaria, para que vendo eu, a coma de sua mão.
6 Deitou-se, pois, Amnom, e fingiu que estava enfermo, e veio o rei: a visitar-lhe: e disse Amnom ao rei: Eu te rogo que venha minha irmã Tamar, e faça diante de mim dois bolos, que coma eu de sua mão.
