2 Samuel 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:12

And she answered him, nay, my brother
Which carried in it a reason sufficient for her denial, that he was her brother, and she his sister, and therefore should not offer such an indignity to her:

do not force me;
which was another forbidding expression, signifying she would never freely yield to his will; and to force her, to defile her against her will, to commit a rape upon her, would be very criminal indeed:

for no such thing ought to be done in Israel;
among God's professing people, who were better taught and instructed; and to give into such impure practices would bring a dishonour upon them, and upon the religion they professed; she urges the honour of religion, and the reputation of Israel, and the glory of the God of Israel:

do not thou this folly:
as all sin is, especially such an impure and indecent action as this.

2 Samuel 13:12 In-Context

10 Então disse Amnom a Tamar: Traze a comida a câmara, para que eu coma da tua mão. E Tamar, tomando os bolos que fizera, levou-os � câmara, ao seu irmão Amnom.
11 Quando lhos chegou, para que ele comesse, Amnom pegou dela, e disse-lhe: Vem, deita-te comigo, minha irmã.
12 Ela, porém, lhe respondeu: Não, meu irmão, não me forces, porque não se faz assim em Israel; não faças tal loucura.
13 Quanto a mim, para onde levaria o meu opróbrio? E tu passarias por um dos insensatos em Israel. Rogo-te, pois, que fales ao rei, porque ele não me negará a ti.
14 Todavia ele não quis dar ouvidos � sua voz; antes, sendo mais forte do que ela, forçou-a e se deitou com ela.
