Context of 2 Samuel 13:14
12“No!” she said to him. “Don’t, my brother! Don’t rape me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Don’t do this disgraceful deed! 13I—where could I go with my shame? You—you will be as one of the disgraceful fools in Israel. Now, please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.” But he was unwilling to listen to her voice, so he overpowered her, forced her and lay with her. 15Then Amnon loathed her with very intense revulsion—indeed, the hatred that he hated her with was greater than the love in which he had loved her. So Amnon said to her, “Get up, get out!” 16But she said to him, “No! Sending me away is even a greater evil than the one you have already done to me!” But again he would not listen to her.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 12-1412-14. do not force me--The remonstrances and arguments of Tamar were so affecting and so strong, that had not Amnon been violently goaded on by the lustful passion of which he had become the slave, they must have prevailed with him to desist from his infamous purpose.
