7. Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him."
8. And Tamar went into the house of her brother Amnon. But he was lying down. And taking flour, she mixed it. And dissolving it in his sight, she cooked little portions of food.
9. And taking what she had cooked, she poured it out, and she set it before him. But he refused to eat. And Amnon said, "Send everyone away from me." And when they had sent everyone away,
10. Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat from your hand." Therefore, Tamar took the little portions of food that she had made, and she brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
11. And when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, "Come lie with me, my sister."
12. She answered him: "Do not do so, my brother! Do not force me. For no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not choose to do this senseless act.
13. For I will not be able to bear my shame. And you will be like one of the foolish in Israel. For it is better to speak to the king, and he will not deny me to you."
14. But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay with her.
15. And Amnon held hatred for her with an exceedingly great hatred, so much so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Amnon said to her, "Rise up, and go away."
16. And she answered him, "This evil is greater, which you are now doing against me in driving me away, than what you did before." But he was not willing to listen to her.
17. Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, "Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind her."
