Exegesis
The verse begins with ve-lo {וְלֹא | və-lō} ‘and not’, a vav conjunction joined to a negative particle expressing deliberate refusal, linking to avah {אָבָה | ʾā-ḇāh} ‘he was willing’.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:14
But he was not willing to listen to her voice, and he overpowered her and afflicted her and lay with her .
