2 Samuel 13:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Now she was wearing a long robe with sleeves; for thus were the virgin daughters of the king clad of old.^[a] So his servant put her out, and bolted the door after her. ¹⁹ And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent the long robe which she wore; and she laid her hand on her head, and went away, crying aloud as she went.

²⁰ And her brother Ab′salom said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? Now hold your peace, my sister; he is your brother; do not take this to heart.” So Tamar dwelt, a desolate woman, in her brother Ab′salom’s house.
