In context

¹⁴But Amnon refused to listen to her, and being stronger, he violated her and lay with her.

¹⁵Then Amnon hated Tamar with such intensity that his hatred was greater than the love he previously had. “Get up!” he said to her. “Be gone!”

¹⁶“No,” she replied, “sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already done to me!” But he refused to listen to her.

¹⁷Instead, he called to his attendant and said, “Throw this woman out and bolt the door behind her!”

¹⁸So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore.
