And Tamar put ashes on her head
 In token of sorrow and distress; see ( Joshua 7:6 ) ; 
 and rent her garment of divers colours that [was] on her;
 signifying that her virginity was rent from her in a forcible manner, or that she was ravished: 
 and laid her hand on her head;
 through grief and shame; see ( Jeremiah 2:37 ) ; 
 and went on crying;
 from Amnon's house to her brother Absalom's, as one abused and injured.
