New Testament

2 Samuel 13:7-14 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

7. Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house and make him something to eat.

8. So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house, and he was lying down. And she took flour and kneaded it and made cakes in his sight and baked the cakes.

9. Then she took a pan and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Send everyone out from me. And they all went out from him.

10. Then Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made and brought them into the chamber to Amnon, her brother.

11. 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.

12. And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not commit this folly.

13. And I, where shall I go with my reproach? 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.

14. Howbeit, he would not hearken unto her voice, but, being stronger than she, forced her and lay with her.
