Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

Verse 14 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.

Aber er wollte nicht gehorchen und überwältigte sie und schwächte sie und schlief bei ihr.
Mas él no la quiso oír; antes pudiendo más que ella la forzó, y echose con ella.
Mais il ne voulut pas l'écouter; il lui fit violence, la déshonora et coucha avec elle.
Ma egli non volle ascoltar la sua voce; anzi le fece forza, e la violò, e giacque con lei.
Porém ele não quis dar ouvidos à sua voz; antes, sendo mais forte do que ela, a forçou, e se deitou com ela.
但 暗嫩 不肯聽她的話,因他比她更有力,就玷辱她,與她同寢。
