2 Samuel 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:10

And Amnon said unto Tamar, bring the meat into the chamber,
&c.] An inner chamber, at a greater distance, where they might be more secret, and out of the reach of the hearing of any of his domestics:

that I may eat of thine hand;
this he pretended, though his design was of another kind:

and Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought [them] into
the chamber to Amnon her brother;
being quite innocent herself, and having no suspicion of a brother having any ill design upon her, she made no scruple of going into an inner chamber alone with him.

9 Then she took the pan and served him [the bread]. But he refused to eat. "Have everyone leave me," he said. So everyone left him.

10 Amnon told Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom so that you can feed me." Tamar took the bread she had prepared and brought it to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.

11 When she handed it to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, "Come to bed with me, Tamar!"

12 "No," she told him, "don't rape me! That shouldn't be done in Israel. Don't do this godless act!
