2 Samuel 13:6-14

6So AmnonH550 layH7901 downH7901, and feigned himself sickH2470: and when the kingH4428 was comeH935 to seeH7200 him, AmnonH550 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eatH1262 from her handH3027.

7Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 home to TamarH8559, sayingH559, GoH7971 now to thy brotherH251 Amnon’s houseH1004, and dress him foodH1279. 8So TamarH8559 went to her brotherH251 Amnon’s houseH1004; and he was laidH7901 downH7901. And she tookH3947 doughH1217, and kneadedH3888 it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. 9And she tookH3947 the pan, and pouredH3332 them out before him; but he refusedH3985 to eatH398. And AmnonH550 saidH559, Have out all menH376 from me. And they wentH3318 out every manH376 from him. 10And AmnonH550 saidH559 unto TamarH8559, BringH935 the foodH1279 into the chamberH2315, that I may eatH1262 from thy handH3027. And TamarH8559 tookH3947 the cakes which she had madeH6213, and broughtH935 them into the chamberH2315 to AmnonH550 her brotherH251. 11And when she had broughtH935 them near unto him to eatH398, he tookH2388 holdH2388 of her, and saidH559 unto her, ComeH935, lieH7901 with me, my sisterH269. 12And she answered him, Nay, my brotherH251, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in IsraelH3478: do not thou this follyH5039. 13And I, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt beH1961 as oneH259 of the foolsH5036 in IsraelH3478. NowH6258 thereforeH6258, I pray thee, speakH1696 unto the kingH4428; for he will not withholdH4513 me from thee. 14Howbeit he wouldH14 not hearken unto her voiceH6963; but being strongerH2388 than she, he forced her, and layH7901 with her.
