Translation note
The text says that David’s anger burned, but it does not say that he did anything against Amnon.
The context
20Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? Now then, my sister, keep quiet; he is your brother. Do not set your heart on this matter.” So Tamar lived, desolate, in the house of Absalom her brother.
21 · This verse (above)
22Absalom did not speak with Amnon anything, bad or good, for Absalom hated Amnon because he had humiliated Tamar his sister.
