2 Samuel 13:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:1

And it came to pass after this
After the sin of David with Bathsheba, his repentance for it, and pardon of it, and the birth of Solomon as a token of reconciliation; yet after all this the divine threatenings must take place; they had begun already in the death of the child begotten in adultery, and others here follow:

that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name [was]
Tamar;
she was his sister both by father and mother's side; the mother o, f them was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; she was a very comely person, her name signifies a palm tree:

and Amnon the son of David loved her;
not in an honourable way, to make her his wife, but in a lustful manner, to make an harlot of her; he was David's eldest son by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, ( 2 Samuel 3:2 ) .

2 Samuel 13:1 In-Context

1 Despu茅s de esto aconteci贸 que teniendo Absal贸n, hijo de David, una hermana muy hermosa que se llamaba Tamar, se enamor贸 de ella Amn贸n, hijo de David.
2 Y Amn贸n estaba tan atormentado a causa de su hermana Tamar que se enferm贸, porque ella era virgen, y le parec铆a dif铆cil a Amn贸n hacerle cosa alguna.
3 Pero Amn贸n ten铆a un amigo que se llamaba Jonadab, hijo de Simea, hermano de David; y Jonadab era un hombre muy astuto.
4 Y 茅ste le dijo: Hijo del rey, 驴por qu茅 est谩s tan deprimido d铆a tras d铆a? 驴No me lo contar谩s? Y Amn贸n le dijo: Estoy enamorado de Tamar, hermana de mi hermano Absal贸n.
5 Entonces Jonadab le dijo: Acu茅state en tu cama, y finge que est谩s enfermo; y cuando tu padre venga a verte, dile: "Te ruego que dejes que mi hermana Tamar venga y me d茅 alg煤n alimento para comer, y que prepare la comida delante de m铆 para que yo la vea y la coma de su mano."
