2 Samuel 13:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² Tamar said to Amnon, “No, brother! Don’t force me to do this. Don’t do this shameful thing! Terrible things like this should never be done in Israel! ¹³ I would never get rid of my shame, and people would think that you are just a common criminal. Please, talk with the king. He will let you marry me.”

¹⁴ But Amnon refused to listen to Tamar. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sexual relations with him.
