2 Samuel 13:6-14

6So Amnon lay down and feigned himself sick; and the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.

7And David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go, I pray thee, to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.

8And Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he had lain down. And she took flour and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

9And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Put every man out from me. And they went out every man from him.

10And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the dish into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

11And she presented them to him to eat; and he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.

12And she said to him, No, my brother, do not humble me; for no such thing is done in Israel: do not this infamy.

13And I, whither shall I carry my reproach? and thou wouldest be as one of the infamous in Israel. And now, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

14But he would not hearken to her voice, and was stronger than she, and humbled her and lay with her.
