2 Samuel 13:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ But Tamar replied, ‘No, I will not go! If you send me away, that would be even worse. It would be more evil that what you have already done to me.’

But Amnon refused to listen to her. ¹⁷ He called out to his own special servant. He told him, ‘Throw this woman out of my house! Then lock the door after she has gone.’ ¹⁸ So the servant took her out and then he locked the door. Tamar was wearing a beautiful long dress. All the king's daughters who were not yet married wore beautiful dresses like that.
