2 Samuel 13:14-16
New English Translation

14 But he refused to listen to her.[a] He overpowered her and humiliated her by raping her.[b] 15 Then Amnon greatly despised her.[c] His disdain toward her surpassed the love he had previously felt toward her.[d] Amnon said to her, “Get up and leave!”

16 But she said to him, “No I won’t, for sending me away now would be worse than what you did to me earlier!”[e] But he refused to listen to her.

  1. 2 Samuel 13:14 tn Heb “to her voice.”
  2. 2 Samuel 13:14 tn Heb “and he humiliated her and lay with her.”
  3. 2 Samuel 13:15 tn Heb “and Amnon hated her with very great hatred.”
  4. 2 Samuel 13:15 tn Heb “for greater was the hatred with which he hated her than the love with which he loved her.”
  5. 2 Samuel 13:16 tn Heb “No, because this great evil is [worse] than the other which you did with me, by sending me away.” Perhaps the broken syntax reflects her hysteria and outrage.
