2 Samuel 13:6

6 Amnom aceitou a ideia e deitou-se, fingindo-se doente. Quando o rei foi visitá-lo, Amnom lhe disse: “Eu gostaria que minha irmã Tamar viesse e preparasse dois bolos aqui mesmo e me servisse”.

2 Samuel 13:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:6

So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick
Took the advice of his cousin Jonadab, and acted according to it:

and when the king was come to see him;
as he quickly did, after he had heard of his illness:

Amnon said unto the king;
who perhaps inquired of his appetite, whether he could eat anything, and what:

I pray thee let my sister Tamar come;
he calls her sister, as Jonadab had directed, the more to blind his design; though it is much that so sagacious a man as David was had not seen through it; but the notion he had of his being really ill, and the near relation between him and Tamar, forbad his entertaining the least suspicion of that kind:

and make me a couple of cakes in my sight;
heart cakes, as the word may be thought to signify; called so either from the form of them, such as We have with us, or from the effect of them, comforting and refreshing the heart:

that I may eat at her hand;
both what is made by her hand, and received from it.

2 Samuel 13:6 In-Context

4 Ele perguntou a Amnom: “Filho do rei, por que todo dia você está abatido? Quer me contar o que se passa?”Amnom lhe disse: “Estou apaixonado por Tamar, irmã de meu irmão Absalão”.

5 “Vá para a cama e finja estar doente”, disse Jonadabe. “Quando seu pai vier visitá-lo, diga-lhe: Permite que minha irmã Tamar venha dar-me de comer. Gostaria que ela preparasse a comida aqui mesmo e me servisse. Assim poderei vê-la”.

6 Amnom aceitou a ideia e deitou-se, fingindo-se doente. Quando o rei foi visitá-lo, Amnom lhe disse: “Eu gostaria que minha irmã Tamar viesse e preparasse dois bolos aqui mesmo e me servisse”.

7 Davi mandou dizer a Tamar no palácio: “Vá à casa de seu irmão Amnom e prepare algo para ele comer”.

8 Tamar foi à casa de seu irmão, que estava deitado. Ela amassou a farinha, preparou os bolos na presença dele e os assou.
