2Samuel:13:6-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
So Amnon lay down ,
and made himself sick :
and when the king was come to see him ,
Amnon said unto the king ,
I pray thee ,
let Tamar my sister come ,
and make me a couple of cakes in my sight ,
that I may eat at her hand .
*
Then David sent home to Tamar ,
saying ,
Go now to thy brother Amnon '
s house ,
and dress him meat .
*
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon '
s house ;
and he was laid down .
And she took flour ,
and kneaded it ,
and made cakes in his sight ,
and did bake the cakes .
*
And she took a pan ,
and poured them out before him ;
but he refused to eat .
And Amnon said ,
Have out all men from me .
And they went out every man from him .
*
And Amnon said unto Tamar ,
Bring the meat into the chamber ,
that I may eat of thine hand .
And Tamar took the cakes which she had made ,
and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother .
*
And when she had brought them unto him to eat ,
he took hold of her ,
and said unto her ,
Come lie with me ,
my sister .
*
And she answered him ,
Nay ,
my brother ,
do not force me ;
for no such thing ought to be done in Israel :
do not thou this folly .
*
And I ,
whither shall I cause my shame to go ?
and as for thee ,
thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel .
Now therefore ,
I pray thee ,
speak unto the king ;
for he will not withhold me from thee .
*
Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice :
but ,
being stronger than she ,
forced her ,
and lay with her .
