2 Samuel 13:16

Listen to 2 Samuel 13:16
16 —¡No me eches de aquí! —replicó ella—. Después de lo que has hecho conmigo, ¡echarme de aquí sería una maldad aun más terrible!Pero él no le hizo caso,

2 Samuel 13:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:16

And she said unto him, [there is] no cause
For such treatment as this:

this evil in sending me away [is] greater than the other that thou
didst unto me;
not that this was a greater sin, but it was a greater evil or injury to her, that being done secretly, this openly; being turned out in that open manner, it might look as if she was the aggressor, and had drawn her brother into this sin, or however had consented to it; had it been kept a secret, she would not have been exposed to public shame and disgrace, and she might have been disposed of in marriage to another; it would not have been known to the grief of her father, to the revenge of Absalom, and to the dishonour of religion; besides, the sin of Amnon might have been more easily excused, if any excuse could be made for it, as that it arose from the force of lust, and a strong impure affection, but this from barbarity and inhumanity:

but he would not hearken unto her;
but insisted upon her immediate departure.

2 Samuel 13:16 In-Context

14 Pero Amnón no le hizo caso sino que, aprovechándose de su fuerza, se acostó con ella y la violó.
15 Pero el odio que sintió por ella después de violarla fue mayor que el amor que antes le había tenido. Así que le dijo:—¡Levántate y vete!
16 —¡No me eches de aquí! —replicó ella—. Después de lo que has hecho conmigo, ¡echarme de aquí sería una maldad aun más terrible!Pero él no le hizo caso,
17 sino que llamó a su criado y le ordenó:—¡Echa de aquí a esta mujer y cierra la puerta!
18 Así que el criado la echó de la casa, y luego cerró bien la puerta.Tamar llevaba puesta una túnica muy elegante, pues así se vestían las princesas vírgenes.
