10. Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom so I may eat from your hand.”Tamar took the cakes she had made and brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
11. She went to him so he could eat from her hands, but Amnon grabbed her. He said, “Sister, come and have sexual relations with me.”
12. Tamar said to him, “No, brother! Don’t force me! This should never be done in Israel! Don’t do this shameful thing!
13. I could never get rid of my shame! And you will be like the shameful fools in Israel! Please talk with the king, and he will let you marry me.”
14. But Amnon refused to listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sexual relations with him.
15. After that, Amnon hated Tamar. He hated her more than he had loved her before. Amnon said to her, “Get up and leave!”
16. Tamar said to him, “No! Sending me away would be worse than what you’ve already done!”But he refused to listen to her.
17. He called his young servant back in and said, “Get this woman out of here and away from me! Lock the door after her.”
18. So his servant led her out of the room and bolted the door after her.Tamar was wearing a special robe with long sleeves, because the king’s virgin daughters wore this kind of robe.
19. To show how upset she was, Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her special robe and put her hand on her head. Then she went away, crying loudly.
