2 Samuel 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:12

And she answered him, nay, my brother
Which carried in it a reason sufficient for her denial, that he was her brother, and she his sister, and therefore should not offer such an indignity to her:

do not force me;
which was another forbidding expression, signifying she would never freely yield to his will; and to force her, to defile her against her will, to commit a rape upon her, would be very criminal indeed:

for no such thing ought to be done in Israel;
among God's professing people, who were better taught and instructed; and to give into such impure practices would bring a dishonour upon them, and upon the religion they professed; she urges the honour of religion, and the reputation of Israel, and the glory of the God of Israel:

do not thou this folly:
as all sin is, especially such an impure and indecent action as this.

2 Samuel 13:12 In-Context

10 Entonces él le dijo a Tamar:
—Ahora trae la comida a mi dormitorio y dame de comer aquí.
Tamar le llevó su comida preferida,

11 pero cuando ella comenzó a darle de comer, la agarró y le insistió:
—Ven, mi amada hermana, acuéstate conmigo.

12 —¡No, hermano mío! —imploró ella—. ¡No seas insensato! ¡No me hagas esto! En Israel no se hace semejante perversidad.

13 ¿Adónde podría ir con mi vergüenza? Y a ti te dirán que eres uno de los necios más grandes de Israel. Por favor, sólo habla con el rey, y él te permitirá casarte conmigo.

14 Pero Amnón no quiso escucharla y, como era más fuerte que ella, la violó.
