14 But he wouldn't listen. Being much stronger than she, he raped her.

2 Samuel 13:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:14

Howbeit, he would not hearken unto her voice
His lust was so inflamed and enraged, that he could not attend to any arguments, though ever so forcible, that were offered to him:

but being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her;
whether she cried out or not, as the law directs in such cases, ( Deuteronomy 22:25-27 ) ; is not said; she might, and nobody hear her and come to her assistance; or she might not choose to expose her brother to his servants.

2 Samuel 13:14 In-Context

12 "No, brother!" she said, "Don't hurt me! This kind of thing isn't done in Israel! Don't do this terrible thing!
13 Where could I ever show my face? And you - you'll be out on the street in disgrace. Oh, please! Speak to the king - he'll let you marry me."
14 But he wouldn't listen. Being much stronger than she, he raped her.
15 No sooner had Amnon raped her than he hated her - an immense hatred. The hatred that he felt for her was greater than the love he'd had for her. "Get up," he said, "and get out!"
16 "Oh no, brother," she said. "Please! This is an even worse evil than what you just did to me!"
