2 Samuel 13:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ The servant put her out and locked the door.

Tamar was wearing a long robe with full sleeves,^[a] the usual clothing for an unmarried princess in those days.^{[b] 19} She sprinkled ashes on her head, tore her robe, and with her face buried in her hands went away crying. ²⁰ When her brother Absalom saw her, he asked, “Has Amnon molested you? Please, sister, don't let it upset you so much. He is your half brother, so don't tell anyone about it.” So Tamar lived in Absalom's house, sad and lonely.
