    10 Then Amnon said vnto Tamar, Bring the meate into the chamber, that I may eate of thine hand; Tamar tooke the cakes which shee had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

    11 And when she had set them before him to eate, he tooke her, and sayd vnto her, Come, lye with me, my sister.
