2 Samuel 13:6-14
6So AmnonH550 layH7901 downH7901 and pretendedH2470 toH2470 beH2470 illH2470; when the kingH4428 cameH935 to seeH7200 him, AmnonH550 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “PleaseH4994 have my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935 and 1makeH3823 me a coupleH8147 of pastriesH3834 in my sightH5869, so that I may eatH1262 from her handH3027.”
7Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 a messenger to the houseH1004 for TamarH8559, sayingH559, “GoH1980 nowH4994 to your brotherH251 Amnon’sH550 houseH1004, and prepareH6213 2foodH1279 for him.” 8So TamarH8559 wentH1980 to her brotherH251 Amnon’sH550 houseH1004, and he was lyingH7901 in bed. And she tookH3947 doughH1217, kneadedH3888 it, madeH3823 pastriesH3823 in his sightH5869, and bakedH1310 the pastriesH3834. 9Then she tookH3947 the trayH4958 and servedH3332 them to him, but he refusedH3985 to eatH398. And AmnonH550 saidH559, “3Have everyoneH3605H376 leaveH3318 me.” So everyoneH3605H376 leftH3318 him. 10Then AmnonH550 saidH559 to TamarH8559, “BringH935 the foodH1279 into the 4bedroomH2315, so that I may eatH1262 from your handH3027.” So TamarH8559 tookH3947 the pastriesH3834 whichH834 she had madeH6213 and broughtH935 them into the bedroomH2315 to her brotherH251 AmnonH550. 11When she broughtH5066 them to him to eatH398, he 5tookH2388 holdH2388 of her and saidH559 to her, “ComeH935, sleepH7901 with me, my sisterH269.” 12But she saidH559 to him, “NoH408, my brotherH251, do not violateH6031 me, for 6suchH3651 aH3651 thingH3651 is not doneH6213 in IsraelH3478; do not doH6213 thisH2088 7disgracefulH5039 sinH5039! 13As for me, whereH575 could I 8getH1980 ridH1980 of my shameH2781? And as for you, you will be like oneH259 of the 9foolsH5036 in IsraelH3478. NowH6258 then, pleaseH4994 speakH1696 to the kingH4428, for 10he will not 11withholdH4513 me from you.” 14However, he wouldH14 not listenH8085 to 12her; since he was strongerH2388 thanH4480 she, he 13violatedH6031 her and sleptH7901 with her.
