16 But she said to him, “No! Sending me away is even a greater evil than the one you have already done to me!” But again he would not listen to her.
17 Then he called his servant that attended him and said, “Get this woman away from me now and bolt the door after her.”
18 Now she had on her a long-sleeved garment for with such robes the king’s virgin daughters used to be dressed. When his attendant took her outside and bolted the door after her,
19 Tamar put ashes on her head and rent her long-sleeved garment that was on her. She laid her hand on her head and was crying aloud as she went away.
20 Then her brother Absalom said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? So now, my sister, keep quiet. He is your brother—don’t take this thing to heart.” But Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 When King David heard about all these things, he was very angry.
22 Absalom did not say a word to Amnon, either good or bad, for Absalom hated Amnon because he had raped his sister Tamar.
