2 Samuel 13:6-14
6So AmnonH550 lay downH7901 and feigned illnessH2470. When the kingH4428 cameH935 to see himH7200, AmnonH550 saidH559, “PleaseH4994 let my sisterH269H3823 TamarH8559 comeH935 and make a coupleH8147 of cakesH3834 in my sightH5869, so that I may eatH1262 from her handH3027.”
7Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 word toH413 TamarH8559 at the palaceH1004H559: “PleaseH4994 goH1980 to the houseH1004 of AmnonH550 your brotherH251 and prepareH6213 a mealH1279 for him.”
8So TamarH8559 wentH1980 to the houseH1004 of her brotherH251 AmnonH550, who was lying downH7901. She tookH3947 some doughH1217, kneadedH3888 it, made cakesH3823 in his sightH5869, and bakedH1310 themH3834. 9Then she broughtH3947 the panH4958 and set it downH3332 before himH6440, but he refusedH3985 to eatH398. “Send everyoneH3605H376H5921 awayH3318!” saidH559 AmnonH550. And everyoneH3605H376H5921 went outH3318.
10Then AmnonH550 saidH559 toH413 TamarH8559, “BringH935 the foodH1279 into the bedroomH2315, so that I may eat itH1262 from your handH3027.”
TamarH8559 tookH3947 the cakesH3834 she had madeH6213 and wentH935 to her brotherH251 Amnon’sH550 bedroomH2315. 11And when she had broughtH5066 them to himH413 to eatH398, he took holdH2388 of her and saidH559, “ComeH935 lieH7901 with meH5973, my sisterH269!”
12“NoH408, my brotherH251!” she criedH559. “Do notH408 violate meH6031, forH3588 suchH3651 a thing should neverH3808 be doneH6213 in IsraelH3478. Do notH408 doH6213 thisH2063 disgraceful thingH5039! 13WhereH575 could IH589 ever takeH1980 my shameH2781? And youH859 would beH1961 like oneH259 of the foolsH5036 in IsraelH3478H6258! PleaseH4994 speakH1696 toH413 the kingH4428, forH3588 he will notH3808 withhold meH4513 from youH4480.”
14But Amnon refusedH3808H14 to listen to herH8085H6963, and being strongerH2388H4480, he violated herH6031 and lay withH7901 herH854.
