2 Samuel 13:4

And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.

KJV

Qui dixit ad eum : Quare sic attenuaris macie, fili regis, per singulos dies ? cur non indicas mihi ? Dixitque ei Amnon : Thamar sororem fratris mei Absalom amo.

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Τί σοι ὅτι σὺ οὕτως ἀσθενής, υἱὲ τοῦ βασιλέως, τὸ πρωὶ πρωί; οὐκ ἀπαγγέλλεις μοι; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀμνών Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ.

LXX

And he said unto him, Why, O son of the king, art thou thus lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.
