In context
19Tamar put ashes on her head, tore the richly decorated robe she was wearing, put her hand on her head, and went away weeping loudly. 20Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Now be quiet, my sister — he is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived, desolate, in her brother Absalom’s house. 21When King David heard all this, he was furious. 22Absalom never said a word to Amnon, good or bad, but he hated Amnon because he had raped his sister Tamar. 23Two years later, Absalom had sheepshearers at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, and he invited all the king’s sons.
