2 Samuel 13:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:16

And she said unto him, [there is] no cause
For such treatment as this:

this evil in sending me away [is] greater than the other that thou
didst unto me;
not that this was a greater sin, but it was a greater evil or injury to her, that being done secretly, this openly; being turned out in that open manner, it might look as if she was the aggressor, and had drawn her brother into this sin, or however had consented to it; had it been kept a secret, she would not have been exposed to public shame and disgrace, and she might have been disposed of in marriage to another; it would not have been known to the grief of her father, to the revenge of Absalom, and to the dishonour of religion; besides, the sin of Amnon might have been more easily excused, if any excuse could be made for it, as that it arose from the force of lust, and a strong impure affection, but this from barbarity and inhumanity:

but he would not hearken unto her;
but insisted upon her immediate departure.

2 Samuel 13:16 In-Context

14 Pero 茅l no quiso escucharla; como era m谩s fuerte que ella, la forz贸, y se acost贸 con ella.
15 Entonces Amn贸n la aborreci贸 con un odio muy grande; porque el odio con que la aborreci贸 fue mayor que el amor con que la hab铆a amado. Y Amn贸n le dijo: Lev谩ntate, vete.
16 Pero ella le respondi贸: No, porque esta injusticia que me haces, ech谩ndome fuera, es mayor que la otra que me has hecho. Mas 茅l no quiso o铆rla.
17 Llam贸, pues, a su criado que le serv铆a y le dijo: Echa a esta mujer fuera de aqu铆, y cierra la puerta tras ella.
18 (Llevaba ella un vestido de manga larga, porque as铆 se vest铆an con t煤nicas las hijas v铆rgenes del rey.) Su criado la ech贸 fuera, y cerr贸 la puerta tras ella.
