Context
3Basi Amnoni alikuwa na rafiki jina lake Yonadabu mwana wa Shimea,* nduguye Daudi. Yonadabu alikuwa mtu wa hila nyingi sana. 4Akamuuliza Amnoni, “Wewe ni mtoto wa mfalme; kwa nini siku baada ya siku unaonekana kukonda? Hutaniambia?”
Amnoni akamwambia, “Ninampenda Tamari, dada yake Absalomu ndugu yangu.” 5Yonadabu akamwambia, “Nenda ukalale kitandani na ujifanye kuwa mgonjwa. Baba yako atakapokuja kukuona mwambie, ‘Ningependa Tamari dada yangu aje kunipatia chochote ili nile. Tafadhali mruhusu aje na kuniandalia chakula mbele yangu ningali ninamwona, ili nipate kula kutoka mkononi mwake.’ ” 6Kwa hiyo Amnoni akalala kitandani kujifanya mgonjwa. Mfalme alipokuja kumwona, Amnoni akamwambia, “Ningependa dada yangu Tamari aje na kuniandalia mikate maalum mbele yangu, ili nipate kula toka mkononi mwake.” 7Daudi akampelekea Tamari ujumbe huko kwenye jumba la kifalme, kusema: “Nenda katika nyumba ya ndugu yako Amnoni ukamwandalie chakula.”
