2 Samuel 13:12-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not violate me, for ^(A)such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this ^(B)disgraceful thing! ¹³ As for me, where could I ^[a]get rid of my reproach? And as for you, you will be like one of the ^[b]fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for ^(C)he will not withhold me from you.” ¹⁴ However, he would not listen to ^[c]her; since he was stronger than she, he ^(D)violated her and lay with her.
