2. Samuelsbok 13,1

Nå skjedde det etter dette at Absalom, Davids sønn, hadde en vakker søster som hette Tamar, og Amnon, Davids sønn, elsket henne.

2 Amnon ble så frustrert på grunn av sin søster Tamar at han gjorde seg selv syk, for hun var jomfru, og det virket vanskelig for Amnon å gjøre noe med henne.

3 Amnon hadde en venn som het Jonadab, sønn av Shimeah, Davids bror; og Jonadab var kjent for sin list.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
