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 Then Amnon was filled with a deep hatred for her; he hated her now even more than he had loved her before. He said to her, "Get out!"
16 "No," she answered. "To send me away like this is a greater crime than what you just did!" But Amnon would not listen to her;
17 he called in his personal servant and said, "Get this woman out of my sight! Throw her out and lock the door!"
18 The servant put her out and locked the door. Tamar was wearing a long robe with full sleeves, the usual clothing for an unmarried princess in those days.
19 She sprinkled ashes on her head, tore her robe, and with her face buried in her hands went away crying.
