19Then Tamar put ashes on her head, tore the robe of many colors that was on her, put her hand on her head, and went away, going and crying out.

20Then Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now, my sister, keep silent; he is your brother. Do not take this matter to heart.” So Tamar remained, devastated, in the house of Absalom her brother.

21When King David heard all these things, he was very angry.

22And Absalom did not speak with Amnon, either bad or good, because Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated Tamar his sister.
