2 Samuel 13 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
6 Amnon therefore lay down & began as it were to be sick: & when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: Let Thamar my sister come, I beseech you, that she may make in my sight two little suppings, & I may take meat of her hand.
7 David therefore sent home to Thamar, saying: Come into the house of Amnon thy brother, & make him broth.
8 And Thamar came into the house of Amnon her brother, & he lay: who taking meal tempered it, & resolving it in his sight she made suppings.
9 And taking that which she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, & he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put forth all from me. And when they had put forth all.
10 Amnon said to Thamar: Bring in the meat into the parlor, that I may eat of thy hand. Thamar therefore took the suppings, which she had made, and carried it in to Amnon her brother in the parlor.
11 And when she had offered him the meat, he caught her, and said: Come, lie with me my sister.
12 Who answered him: Do not so my brother, do not ravish me: for this is not lawful in Israel. Do not this folly.
13 For I shall not be able to bear my reproach, and thou shalt be as one of the foolish in Israel: but rather speak to the king, & he will not deny me to thee.
14 But he would not rest at her petitions, but prevailing by force ravished her, & lay with her.
