2 Samuel 13:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:22

And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad,
&c.] That is, said nothing at all to him about the rape of his sister; not that he was sulky with him, and would not converse with him at all; for then Amnon would have mistrusted that he was meditating revenge, and therefore would have been upon his guard; but on the contrary he talked freely, and in appearance friendly, on other things, the better to conceal his hatred of him, and his design to avenge the injury of his sister:

for Absalom hated Amnon;
or, "though" F6 he hated him, yet he behaved in this manner towards him:

because he had forced his sister Tamar:
who was so by father and mother's side, and so near and dear unto him, and therefore resented the injury done her.

2 Samuel 13:22 In-Context

20 Y le dijo su hermano Absal贸n: 驴Ha estado contigo tu hermano Amn贸n? Pues calla ahora, hermana m铆a; tu hermano es; no pongas tu coraz贸n en este negocio. Y se qued贸 Tamar desconsolada en casa de Absal贸n su hermano.
21 Y luego que el rey David oy贸 todo esto, fue muy enojado.
22 Mas Absal贸n no habl贸 con Amn贸n ni malo ni bueno, bien que Absal贸n aborrec铆a a Amn贸n, porque hab铆a forzado a Tamar su hermana.
23 Y aconteci贸 pasados dos a帽os, que Absal贸n ten铆a esquiladores en Bala-hazor, que est谩 junto a Efra铆n; y convid贸 Absal贸n a todos los hijos del rey.
24 Y vino Absal贸n al rey, y le dijo: He aqu铆, tu siervo tiene ahora esquiladores; yo ruego que venga el rey y sus siervos con tu siervo.
