2 Samuel 13:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:1

And it came to pass after this
After the sin of David with Bathsheba, his repentance for it, and pardon of it, and the birth of Solomon as a token of reconciliation; yet after all this the divine threatenings must take place; they had begun already in the death of the child begotten in adultery, and others here follow:

that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name [was]
Tamar;
she was his sister both by father and mother's side; the mother o, f them was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; she was a very comely person, her name signifies a palm tree:

and Amnon the son of David loved her;
not in an honourable way, to make her his wife, but in a lustful manner, to make an harlot of her; he was David's eldest son by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, ( 2 Samuel 3:2 ) .

2 Samuel 13:1 In-Context

1 Aconteci贸 despu茅s de esto, que teniendo Absal贸n hijo de David una hermana hermosa que se llamaba Tamar, se enamor贸 de ella Amn贸n hijo de David.
2 Y estaba Amn贸n angustiado hasta enfermar, por Tamar su hermana; porque por ser ella virgen, parec铆a a Amn贸n que ser铆a cosa dificultosa hacerle algo.
3 Y Amn贸n ten铆a un amigo que se llamaba Jonadab, hijo de Simea, hermano de David; y era Jonadab hombre muy astuto.
4 Y 茅ste le dijo: Hijo del rey, 驴por qu茅 de d铆a en d铆a vas as铆 enflaqueciendo? 驴No me lo descubrir谩s a m铆? Y Amn贸n le respondi贸: Yo amo a Tamar la hermana de Absal贸n mi hermano.
5 Y Jonadab le dijo: Acu茅state en tu cama, y finge que est谩s enfermo; y cuando tu padre viniere a visitarte, dile: Te ruego que venga mi hermana Tamar, para que me conforte con alguna comida, y aderece delante de m铆 alguna vianda, para que viendo yo, la coma de su mano.
