10 Alors Amnon dit à Tamar: Apporte le mets dans la chambre, et que je le mange de ta main. Tamar prit les gâteaux qu’elle avait faits, et les porta à Amnon, son frère, dans la chambre.

11 Comme elle les lui présentait à manger, il la saisit et lui dit: Viens, couche avec moi, ma sœur.

12 Elle lui répondit: Non, mon frère, ne me déshonore pas, car on n’agit point ainsi en Israël; ne commets pas cette infamie.

13 Où irais-je, moi, avec ma honte? Et toi, tu serais comme l’un des infâmes en Israël. Maintenant, je te prie, parle au roi, et il ne s’opposera pas à ce que je sois à toi.

14 Mais il ne voulut pas l’écouter; il lui fit violence, la déshonora et coucha avec elle.
