2 Samuel 13:6-14

6So AmnonH550 lay downH7901, and made himself sickH2470: and when the kingH4428 was comeH935 to seeH7200 him, AmnonH550 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, I pray thee, let TamarH8559 my sisterH269 comeH935, and makeH3823 me a coupleH8147 of cakesH3834 in my sightH5869, that I may eatH1262 at her handH3027. 7Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 homeH1004 to TamarH8559, sayingH559, GoH3212 now to thy brotherH251 Amnon’sH550 houseH1004, and dressH6213 him meatH1279. 8So TamarH8559 wentH3212 to her brotherH251 Amnon’sH550 houseH1004; and he was laid downH7901. And she tookH3947 flourH1217, and kneadedH3888 it, and made cakesH3823 in his sightH5869, and did bakeH1310 the cakesH3834.1 9And she tookH3947 a panH4958, and poured them outH3332 beforeH6440 him; but he refusedH3985 to eatH398. And AmnonH550 saidH559, Have outH3318 all menH376 from me. And they went outH3318 every manH376 from him. 10And AmnonH550 saidH559 unto TamarH8559, BringH935 the meatH1279 into the chamberH2315, that I may eatH1262 of thine handH3027. And TamarH8559 tookH3947 the cakesH3834 which she had madeH6213, and broughtH935 them into the chamberH2315 to AmnonH550 her brotherH251. 11And when she had broughtH5066 them unto him to eatH398, he took holdH2388 of her, and saidH559 unto her, ComeH935 lieH7901 with me, my sisterH269. 12And she answeredH559 him, Nay, my brotherH251, do not forceH6031 me; for no such thing oughtH3651 to be doneH6213 in IsraelH3478: doH6213 not thou this follyH5039.23 13And I, whither shall I cause my shameH2781 to goH3212? and as for thee, thou shalt be as oneH259 of the foolsH5036 in IsraelH3478. Now therefore, I pray thee, speakH1696 unto the kingH4428; for he will not withholdH4513 me from thee. 14Howbeit he wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto her voiceH6963: but, being strongerH2388 than she, forcedH6031 her, and layH7901 with her.
