2 Samuel 13:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:17

Then he called his servants that ministered unto him
His domestic servants that waited on him:

and said, put now this [woman] out from me;
she not willing to depart at once, he ordered her to be put out immediately by force; using her and speaking of her in a very rude and scandalous manner, calling her this, leaving it to be supplied, as they would understand it, this base woman, this strumpet

and bolt the door after her;
that she might not return; this was more disgraceful still.

2 Samuel 13:17 In-Context

15 After that, Amnon hated Tamar. He hated her more than he had loved her before. Amnon said to her, "Get up and leave!"

16 Tamar said to him, "No! Sending me away would be worse than what you've already done!" But he refused to listen to her.

17 He called his young servant back in and said, "Get this woman out of here and away from me! Lock the door after her."

18 So his servant led her out of the room and bolted the door after her. Tamar was wearing a special robe with long sleeves, because the king's virgin daughters wore this kind of robe.

19 To show how upset she was, Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her special robe and put her hand on her head. Then she went away, crying loudly.
