2 Samuel 13:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:11

And when she had brought [them] unto him to eat
Not only into the chamber, but to the side of the bed or couch where he had laid himself, or sat, in a proper position to answer his purpose:

he took hold of her;
by the arm, or threw his hands about her:

and said unto her, come, lie with me, my sister;
one would think the relation he observes she stood in to him would have checked him from making so vile a motion.

2 Samuel 13:11 In-Context

9 She took the pan and served Amnon, but he refused to eat. "Everyone leave me," Amnon said. So everyone left him.
10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom so I can eat from your hand." So Tamar took the heart-shaped cakes she had made and brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
11 When she served him the food, he grabbed her and said, "Come have sex with me, my sister."
12 But she said to him, "No, my brother! Don't rape me. Such a thing shouldn't be done in Israel. Don't do this horrible thing.
13 Think about me—where could I hide my shame? And you—you would become like some fool in Israel! Please, just talk to the king! He won't keep me from marrying you."
