2 Samuel 13:19

Amnon Assaults His Sister Tamar

¹⁸ Now she had on a long robe, such as in past times the king's virgin daughters were dressed in. Then the servant put her out, locking the door after her. ¹⁹ And Tamar, in her grief, put dust on her head; and she put her hand on her head and went away crying loudly. ²⁰ And her brother Absalom said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? but now, let there be an end to your crying, my sister: he is your brother, do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar went on living uncomforted in her brother's house.
