10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom.
11 Now when she had brought them to him to eat, ahe took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”
12 But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not1 force me, for ano such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this bdisgraceful thing!
13 And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; afor he will not withhold me from you.”
14 However, he would not heed her voice; and being stronger than she, he aforced her and lay with her.
