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 brought the pan and set it down in front of him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, "Everyone leave me!" And everyone left him.
10 "Bring the meal to the bedroom," Amnon told Tamar, "so I can eat from your hand." Tamar took the cakes she had made and went to her brother Amnon's bedroom.
11 When she brought [them] to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, "Come sleep with me, my sister!"
12 "Don't, my brother!" she cried. "Don't humiliate me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Don't do this horrible thing!
13 Where could I ever go with my disgrace? And you-you would be like one of the immoral men in Israel! Please, speak to the king, for he won't keep me from you."
