8. So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house, while he was lying down. And she took dough and kneaded it, and made cakes before his eyes, and baked the cakes.
9. And she took the pan and turned them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Make everyone go away from me.” And they all went out from him.
10. And Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom.
11. And she brought them to him to eat, and he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”
12. And she answered him, “No, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Yisra’ĕl. Do not do this wickedness!
13. “And I, where could I take my shame? And you – you would be like one of the fools in Yisra’ĕl. And now, please speak to the sovereign, for he would not withhold me from you.”
14. But he would not listen to her voice, and being stronger than she, he humbled her and lay with her.
15. Amnon then hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, go!”
16. And she said to him, “No, for this evil of sending me away is worse than the other you have done to me.” But he would not listen to her.
17. And he called his young man serving him, and said, “Now put this one out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her.”
18. And she had on a long coat, for the sovereign’s maiden daughters wore such garments. And his servant put her out and bolted the door behind her.
19. And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her long coat that was on her, and put her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly.
20. And Aḇshalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now, keep silent, my sister. He is your brother, do not take this matter to heart.” So Tamar remained in the house of her brother Aḇshalom, but was ruined.
