2 Samuel 13:6-14
6So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and 1make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”
7Then David sent to the house for Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.” 8So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house, and he was lying down. And she took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes. 9She took the pan and 2dished them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “3Have everyone go out from me.” So everyone went out from him. 10Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the 4bedroom, that I may eat from your hand.” So Tamar took the cakes which she had made and brought them into the bedroom to her brother Amnon. 11When she brought them to him to eat, he 5took 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 6such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this 7disgraceful thing! 13As for me, where could I 8get rid of my reproach? And as for you, you will be like one of the 9fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for 10he will not withhold me from you.” 14However, he would not listen to 11her; since he was stronger than she, he 12violated her and lay with her.
