2 Samuel 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:12

And she answered him, nay, my brother
Which carried in it a reason sufficient for her denial, that he was her brother, and she his sister, and therefore should not offer such an indignity to her:

do not force me;
which was another forbidding expression, signifying she would never freely yield to his will; and to force her, to defile her against her will, to commit a rape upon her, would be very criminal indeed:

for no such thing ought to be done in Israel;
among God's professing people, who were better taught and instructed; and to give into such impure practices would bring a dishonour upon them, and upon the religion they professed; she urges the honour of religion, and the reputation of Israel, and the glory of the God of Israel:

do not thou this folly:
as all sin is, especially such an impure and indecent action as this.

2 Samuel 13:12 In-Context

10 Entonces Amn贸n dijo a Tamar: Trae la comida a la alcoba, para que yo coma de tu mano. Y tomando Tamar las hojuelas que hab铆a aderezado, las llev贸 a su hermano Amn贸n a la alcoba.
11 Y cuando ella se las puso delante para que comiese, 茅l trab贸 de ella, dici茅ndole: Ven, hermana m铆a acu茅state conmigo.
12 Ella entonces le respondi贸: No, hermano m铆o, no me hagas fuerza; porque no se hace as铆 en Israel. No hagas tal locura.
13 Porque, 驴d贸nde ir铆a yo con mi deshonra? Y aun t煤 ser铆as estimado como uno de los locos de Israel. Te ruego, pues, ahora que hables al rey, que no me negar谩 a ti.
14 Mas 茅l no la quiso o铆r; antes pudiendo m谩s que ella la forz贸, y se ech贸 con ella.
