2 Samuel 13:20

20 Su hermano Absalón la vio y le preguntó: «¿Es verdad que Amnón ha estado contigo? Bien, hermanita, quédate callada por ahora, ya que él es tu hermano. No te angusties por esto». Así pues, Tamar vivió como una mujer desconsolada en la casa de su hermano Absalón.

2 Samuel 13:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:20

And Absalom her brother said unto her
Either meeting her in the street, or rather when come to his house:

hath Amnon thy brother been with thee?
been rude with thee, and lain with thee, which is the meaning of this modest expression; which he guessed at, having heard of her being sent to his house, and knowing his lustful disposition, and seeing her in such a forlorn condition: he calls him Aminon, for so it is in the Hebrew text, and not Amnon, by way of contempt, as Kimchi observes:

but hold now thy peace, my sister;
be silent, take no notice of this matter, say nothing of it to the king, nor any other, keep it in thine own breast, and make thyself easy:

he [is] thy brother, regard not this thing;
it is thy brother that has done it, and not so disgraceful as a meaner person, done in the heat of lust, and a youthful one, and should be forgiven; besides, to divulge it would bring disgrace upon the whole family, and no recompence would be obtained by telling the king of it, since he was his son, his firstborn, and heir to the crown; this he said not out of love of Amnon, but as desirous of gratifying private revenge upon him for it when opportunity should serve.

So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house;
not seeing any company, being filled with grief and shame, and none applying to her as a suitor, knowing she was vitiated; how long she continued here, or lived after this, is not certain; no mention is made of her afterwards.

2 Samuel 13:20 In-Context

18 Así que el sirviente la sacó y cerró la puerta detrás de ella. Tamar llevaba puesta una hermosa túnica larga,
como era costumbre en esos días para las hijas vírgenes del rey.

19 Pero entonces, ella rasgó su túnica y echó ceniza sobre su cabeza y, cubriéndose la cara con las manos, se fue llorando.

20 Su hermano Absalón la vio y le preguntó: «¿Es verdad que Amnón ha estado contigo? Bien, hermanita, quédate callada por ahora, ya que él es tu hermano. No te angusties por esto». Así pues, Tamar vivió como una mujer desconsolada en la casa de su hermano Absalón.

21 Cuando el rey David se enteró de lo que había sucedido, se enojó mucho.

22 Absalón nunca habló de esto con Amnón, sin embargo, lo odió profundamente por lo que le había hecho a su hermana.
