Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

Verse 15 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.

Und Amnon ward ihr überaus gram, daß der Haß größer war, denn vorhin die Liebe war. Und Amnon sprach zu ihr: Mache dich auf und hebe dich!
Aborreciola luego Amnón de tan grande aborrecimiento, que el odio con que la aborreció fue mayor que el amor con que la había amado. Y díjole Amnón: Levántate y vete.
Puis Amnon eut pour elle une forte aversion, plus forte que n'avait été son amour. Et il lui dit: Lève-toi, va-t'en!
E poi Amnon l’odiò d’un odio molto grande; perciocchè l’odio che le portava era maggiore che l’amore che le avea portato. Ed egli le disse: Levati, vattene via.
Depois Amnom sentiu grande aversão por ela, pois maior era o ódio que sentiu por ela do que o amor com que a amara. E disse-lhe Amnom: Levanta-te, e vai-te.
隨後, 暗嫩 極其恨她,恨她的心比先前愛她的心更甚,就對她說:「你起來,去吧!」
