2 Samuel 13:20-30

Listen to 2 Samuel 13:20-30
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.
25 Y respondi贸 el rey a Absal贸n: No, hijo m铆o, no vamos todos, para que no te hagamos costa. Y aunque porfi贸 con 茅l, no quiso ir, mas lo bendijo.
26 Entonces dijo Absal贸n: Si no, te ruego que venga con nosotros Amn贸n mi hermano. Y el rey le respondi贸: 驴Para qu茅 ha de ir contigo?
27 Y como Absal贸n lo importunase, dej贸 ir con 茅l a Amn贸n y a todos los hijos del rey.
28 Y hab铆a Absal贸n dado orden a sus criados, diciendo: Ahora bien, mirad cuando el coraz贸n de Amn贸n estar谩 alegre del vino, y cuando yo os dijere: Herid a Amn贸n, entonces matadle, y no tem谩is; que yo os lo he mandado. Esforzaos pues, y sed valientes.
29 Y los criados de Absal贸n hicieron con Amn贸n como Absal贸n lo hab铆a mandado. Se levantaron luego todos los hijos del rey, y subieron todos en sus mulos, y huyeron.
30 Y estando a煤n ellos en el camino, lleg贸 a David el rumor que dec铆a: Absal贸n ha muerto a todos los hijos del rey, que ninguno de ellos ha quedado.

2 Samuel 13:20-30 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.
