In context

18So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore.

19And Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her robe. And putting her hand on her head, she went away crying aloud.

20Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom.

21When King David heard all this, he was furious.

22And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnon for violating his sister Tamar.
