7. Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.
8. And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.
9. And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,
10. Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.
11. And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
12. She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.
13. For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.
14. But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.
