ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૩:૪
યોનાદાબે આમ્નોનને કહ્યું કે, “હે રાજકુંવર, તું દરરોજ કેમ દુઃખી રહે છે? શું તું મને નહિ કહે?” તેથી આમ્નોને તેને ઉત્તર આપ્યો, “હું મારા ભાઈ આબ્શાલોમની બહેન તામારના પ્રેમમાં પડ્યો છું.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १३:४
और उसने अम्नोन से कहा, “हे राजकुमार, क्या कारण है कि तू प्रतिदिन ऐसा दुबला होता जाता है क्या तू मुझे न बताएगा?” अम्नोन ने उससे कहा, “मैं तो अपने भाई अबशालोम की बहन तामार पर मोहित हूँ।”

In context

2Amnon was so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

3But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.

4He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”

5Jonadab said to him, “Lay down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’”

6So Amnon lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”
