14 But he refused to listen to her, and because he was stronger than she was, he raped her.
15 After this, 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, “sending me away is much worse than the great wrong you’ve already done to me! ” But he refused to listen to her.
17 Instead, he called to the servant who waited on him: “Throw this woman out and bolt the door behind her! ”
18 Amnon’s servant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a long-sleeved garment, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore.
19 Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the long-sleeved garment she was wearing. She put her hand on her head and went away crying out.
20 Her brother Absalom said to her: “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom.
