2 Samuel 13:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Now she was clothed in a long sleeved, multi-colored ornamental tunic, commonly worn by the king’s virgin daughters. When Amnon’s^[a] servant threw her out and locked the door after her, ¹⁹ Tamar rubbed her head with ashes, tore her tunic that she was wearing, put her hand to her head, and ran off, crying aloud as she went away.

Absalom’s Plans Revenge

²⁰ Later, her brother Absalom asked her, “Has Amnon, that brother of yours, raped^[b] you? Then keep quiet about your half-brother for now, my sister. Stop taking this so personally.”^[c] From that time on, Tamar lived in continuous desolation within her brother Absalom’s house.
