2 Samuel 13:14-24

Listen to 2 Samuel 13:14-24
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.
15 La aborreci贸 luego Amn贸n de tan grande aborrecimiento, que el odio con que la aborreci贸 despu茅s fue mayor que el amor con que la hab铆a amado. Y le dijo Amn贸n: Lev谩ntate y vete.
16 Y ella le respondi贸: No es raz贸n; mayor mal es 茅ste de echarme, que el que me has hecho. Mas 茅l no la quiso o铆r;
17 antes llamando a su criado que le serv铆a le dijo: Echame 茅sta all谩 fuera, y tras ella cierra la puerta.
18 (Y ten铆a ella sobre s铆 una ropa de colores, traje que las hijas v铆rgenes de los reyes vest铆an.) Y su criado la ech贸 pues fuera, y cerr贸 la puerta tras ella.
19 Entonces Tamar tom贸 ceniza, y la esparci贸 sobre su cabeza, y rasg贸 su ropa de colores de que estaba vestida, y puestas sus manos sobre su cabeza, se fue gritando.
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.

2 Samuel 13:14-24 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND SAMUEL 13

This chapter relates some of the evils that were to arise out of David's house, and which were similar to the evils committed by him; the deflowering of his daughter, and the murder of his eldest son: the story is this; Amnon falls in love with Tamar, his sister, and grew thin upon it, which being observed by a friend of his, inquires the reason of it, which having got out of him, forms a scheme for obtaining his desire, and which succeeded; for by it he had the opportunity of ravishing his sister, 2Sa 13:1-14; the consequences of which were extreme hatred of her, hurrying her out of doors, lamentation and mourning on her part, grief to David, and enmity in the heart of Absalom to Amnon, which put him upon meditating his death, 2Sa 13:15-22; and which was brought about after this manner. Absalom had a sheep shearing, to which he invited the king and all his sons, and to which they all came excepting the king, 2Sa 13:23-27; when Absalom gave orders to his servants to observe Amnon when he was merry, and at his word smite him and kill him, as they did, 2Sa 13:28,29; tidings of which soon came to the ears of David, and these aggravated, that all the king's sons were killed, which threw the king into an agony; but Jonadab endeavoured to pacify him, by assuring him that only Amnon was dead, the truth of which soon appeared by the coming of the king's sons, 2Sa 13:30-36; but Absalom fled to Geshur, where he remained three years, when David's heart began to be towards him, and to long for him, who was to bring more evil against him, 2Sa 13:37-39.
