Verse 11 is found in chapter 13 of 2 Samuel. Amnon rapes Tamar and then transforms his desire into hatred, humiliatingly sending her away. Tamar tears her clothing and publicly expresses the gravity of what has happened. Absalom takes her into his house, while David becomes angry but does not appear to impose effective discipline on Amnon. The king’s passivity is narratively significant because the absence of justice leaves room for Absalom to seek his own form of revenge later.

Cuando se las acercó para que comiera, él la agarró y le dijo: «Ven, acuéstate conmigo, hermana mía».
Comme elle les lui présentait à manger, il la saisit et lui dit: Viens, couche avec moi, ma soeur.
e gliele porse, acciocchè mangiasse. Ma egli la prese, e le disse: Vieni, giaci meco, sorella mia.
E chegando-lhos, para que comesse, pegou dela, e disse-lhe: Vem, deita-te comigo, minha irmã.
