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.

12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
