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 deep hatred for Tamar. In fact, he hated her now more than he had loved her before. He said to her, "Get up! Get out!"

16 "No!" she said to him. "Don't send me away. That would be worse than what you have already done to me." But he refused to listen to her.

17 He sent for his personal servant. He said, "Get this woman out of here. Lock the door behind her."

18 So his servant threw her out. Then he locked the door behind her. Tamar was wearing a beautiful robe. It was the kind of robe the virgin daughters of the king wore.

19 She put ashes on her head. She tore the beautiful robe she was wearing. She put her hands on her head and went away. She was sobbing out loud as she went.
