8. So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s home. He was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made flat bread in front of him, and cooked it.
9. Then she took the pan and served him ⌊the bread⌋. But he refused to eat.“Have everyone leave me,” he said. So everyone left him.
10. Amnon told Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom so that you can feed me.”Tamar took the bread she had prepared and brought it to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
11. When she handed it to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, “Come to bed with me, Tamar!”
12. “No,” she told him, “don’t rape me! That shouldn’t be done in Israel. Don’t do this godless act!
13. Where could I go in my disgrace? And you will be considered one of the godless fools in Israel! Speak to the king. He won’t refuse your request to marry me.”
14. But Amnon wouldn’t listen to her. He grabbed his sister and raped her.
15. Now, Amnon developed an intense hatred for her. His hatred for her was greater than the lust he had felt for her. “Get out of here,” he told her.
