2 Samuel 13:12-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹² “Don’t, my brother!” she cried. “Don’t disgrace^(A) me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel.^(B) Don’t commit this outrage!^{(C) 13} Where could I ever go with my humiliation? And you—you would be like one of the outrageous fools in Israel! Please, speak to the king, for he won’t keep me from you.” ¹⁴ But he refused to listen to her, and because he was stronger than she was, he disgraced her by raping her.

¹⁵ So Amnon hated Tamar with such intensity that the hatred he hated her with was greater than the love he had loved her with. “Get out of here!” he said.

¹⁶ “No,” she cried,^[a] “sending me away is much worse than the great wrong you’ve already done to me!”

But he refused to listen to her.
