2 Samuel 13:15
Compare all
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.  
15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”  
16 So she said to him, “No, indeed! This evil of sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me.” But he would not listen to her.
17 Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, “Here! Put this woman out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her.”
18 Now she had on aa robe of many colors, for the king’s virgin daughters wore such apparel. And his servant put her out and bolted the door behind her.  
19 Then Tamar put aashes on her head, and tore her robe of many colors that was on her, and blaid her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly.

2 Samuel 13:15

Then Amnon hated her exceedingly—It is not unusual for persons instigated by violent and irregular passions to go from one extreme to another. In Amnon's case the sudden revulsion is easily accounted for; the atrocity of his conduct, with all the feelings of shame, remorse, and dread of exposure and punishment, now burst upon his mind, rendering the presence of Tamar intolerably painful to him.
