2 Samuel 13:11-14

11When she brought them to him to eat, he 1took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.” 12But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not violate me, for 2such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this 3disgraceful thing! 13As for me, where could I 4get rid of my reproach? And as for you, you will be like one of the 5fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for 6he will not withhold me from you.” 14However, he would not listen to 7her; since he was stronger than she, he 8violated her and lay with her.
