10And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.
11And she brought them to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
— 2 Samuel 13:12 —
13And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray thee, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from thee.
14But Amnon would not hearken to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.
