2 Samuel 13:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:21

But when King David heard of all these things
Of Amnon's ravishing Tamar, and turning her out of doors in that inhuman manner he did, and of her distress upon it:

he was very wroth;
with Amnon; but we read not of any reproof he gave him, nor of any punishment inflicted on him by him. Abarbinel thinks the reason why he was not punished was because his sin was not cognizable by a court of judicature, nor was punishable by any way, or with any kind of death inflicted by the sanhedrim, as stoning, burning, &c. nor even by scourging, because there were no witnesses; but the punishment of it was cutting off, i.e. by the hand of God. The Jews say


FOOTNOTES:

F5 a law was made on this, that virgins or unmarried persons should not be alone; for if this was done to the daughter of a king, much more might it be done to the daughter of a private man; and if to a modest person, much more to an impudent one.


F5 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 21. 1.

2 Samuel 13:21 In-Context

19 Entonces Tamar se puso ceniza sobre la cabeza, rasg贸 el vestido de manga larga que llevaba puesto, y se fue gritando con las manos sobre la cabeza.
20 Su hermano Absal贸n le dijo: 驴Ha estado contigo tu hermano Amn贸n? Guarda silencio ahora, hermana m铆a; tu hermano es; no se angustie tu coraz贸n por este asunto. Tamar, pues, se qued贸 desconsolada en casa de su hermano Absal贸n.
21 Cuando el rey David se enter贸 de todas estas cosas, se enoj贸 mucho.
22 Pero Absal贸n no le habl贸 a Amn贸n ni bien ni mal; pues Absal贸n odiaba a Amn贸n, porque hab铆a violado a su hermana Tamar.
23 Despu茅s de dos a帽os, aconteci贸 que teniendo Absal贸n esquiladores de ovejas en Baal-hazor, que est谩 junto a Efra铆n, Absal贸n invit贸 a todos los hijos del rey.
