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 But then he was filled with utter revulsion for her - his hatred of her was even greater than the love he had had for her before. Amnon said to her, "Get up, and get out of here!"

16 "No," she objected, "because throwing me out like this is an even worse thing than what you've already done to me!" But he wouldn't listen to her;

17 he called his personal servant and said, "Get rid of this woman for me! Throw her out, and lock the door after her!"

18 She was wearing a long-sleeved robe (this was how they used to dress the king's daughters who were virgins). His servant took her out and locked the door after her.

19 Tamar put ashes on her head, tore her long-sleeved robe that she was wearing, laid her hand on her head and went off, crying aloud as she went.
