20 Her brother Absalom asked her, |Has your brother Amnon been with you? Sister, be quiet for now. He's your brother. Don't dwell on this matter.| So Tamar stayed there at the home of her brother Absalom and was depressed.

21 When King David heard about this, he became very angry. But David didn't punish his son Amnon. He favored Amnon because he was his firstborn son.

22 Absalom wouldn't speak at all to Amnon. He hated Amnon for raping his sister Tamar.
