  • 2 Sam 13:1-9 : 1 After this, Absalom, son of David, had a beautiful sister named Tamar, and Amnon, the son of David, fell in love with her. 2 Amnon was so distressed about his sister Tamar that he made himself sick, for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her. 3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd man. 4 Jonadab asked him, 'Why are you, the king's son, so downcast morning after morning? Won't you tell me?' Amnon replied, 'I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.' 5 Jonadab said to him, 'Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, "Please let my sister Tamar come and prepare some food for me here in my sight, so I may watch her and eat it from her hand."' 6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so I may eat from her hand.' 7 David sent word to Tamar at the palace: 'Go to your brother Amnon’s house and prepare some food for him.' 8 So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made the cakes in his sight, and baked them. 9 Then she took the pan and placed the cakes before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, 'Send everyone out of here.' So everyone left him. 10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, 'Bring the food into my bedroom, so I may eat it from your hand.' Tamar took the cakes she had made and brought them to her brother Amnon in his bedroom. 11 But when she took them to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, 'Come, lie with me, my sister.' 12 She answered him, 'No, my brother! Don’t force me. Such a thing should not be done in Israel! Don’t do this outrageous thing.' 13 What about me? Where could I get rid of my disgrace? And you would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king; he will not withhold me from you. 14 But he refused to listen to her, and being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her. 15 Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, 'Get up and leave!' 16 But she said to him, 'No! Sending me away would be a greater wrong than what you have already done to me.' But he refused to listen to her. 17 He called his servant who attended him and said, 'Throw this woman out of my presence and bolt the door after her.' 18 Now she was wearing a richly ornamented robe, for this was how the virgin daughters of the king dressed in those days. So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her.
