183. And Amnon (David's eldest son), said unto Tamar, Bring the meat
into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand: and Tamar took the
cakes which she had made and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her
brother. 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_. And she answered
him, Nay, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing ought to be
done in Israel; do not thou this folly. And I, whither shall I cause
my shame to go? 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_, Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice;
but? being stronger than she, _forced her and lay with her_, 2 Samuel
xiii. 10 to 14.
