2 Samuel 13:11-14
11When she brought them to him to eat, he 1took hold of her and said to her, “Come, sleep with me, my sister.” 12But she said to him, “No, my brother, do not violate me, for 2such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this 3disgraceful sin! 13As for me, where could I 4get rid of my shame? And as for you, you will be like one of the 5fools in Israel. Now then, please speak to the king, for 6he will not 7withhold me from you.” 14However, he would not listen to 8her; since he was stronger than she, he 9violated her and slept with her.
