2 Samuel 13:21
Compare all
19 Then Tamar put aashes on her head, and tore her robe of many colors that was on her, and blaid her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly.  
20 And Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
22 And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon aneither good nor bad. For Absalom bhated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.  

Absalom Murders Amnon

23 And it came to pass, after two full years, that Absalom ahad sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim; so Absalom invited all the king’s sons.

2 Samuel 13:21

The Septuagint adds, what is a good explanation, "but he did not vex the spirit of Amnon his son, because he loved him, because he was his first-born." This want of justice in David' s conduct, and favoritism to Amnon, probably rankled in Absalom' s heart, and was the first seed of his after rebellion.
