Amnon loving Tamar, by Jonadab's counsel feigning himself sick, ravishes her.15. He hates her, and shamefully turns her away 19. Absalom entertains her, and conceals his purpose 23.

Absalom flies to Talmai at Geshur Now after this This phrase sets the stage for the events that follow, indicating a continuation from the previous narrative. In the Hebrew text, the word "achar" is used, which means "after" or "following." This suggests a chronological link to the preceding chapters, where King David's family dynamics and political affairs are detailed. The phrase serves as a reminder of the ongoing saga of David's household, emphasizing the unfolding consequences of David's past actions, particularly his sin with Bathsheba and the subsequent turmoil prophesied by Nathan. Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister named Tamar and Amnon son of David loved her Absalom and Tamar were children of Maacah, daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur, and the former, at least, had been born during David's reign at Hebron (2Samuel 3:3). It is probable that the events here narrated occurred soon after the war with the Ammonites and David's marriage with Bath-sheba. Amnon was David's first-born son (3:2). Verse 1. - After this. This phrase, as we have seen on 2 Samuel 10:1, has little chronological force, but the date of the sad event which formed the second stage in David's punishment can be settled with considerable certainty. Tamar was the daughter of Maacah, a princess of Geshur, and David's marriage with her, while still at Hebron, is mentioned as a proof of his growing power, and consequently some time must have elapsed after his appointment as king before this alliance took place. As Absalom was apparently older than Tamar, if she were now fifteen or sixteen years of age. David would have been king of all Israel at least thirteen or fourteen years, and would have reached the summit of his glory. His wars would be over, Rabbah captured, and his empire firmly established. For twenty more years he must sit upon his throne, but as a culprit, and bear the many sorrows resulting from his sin. Amnon was David's firstborn, the son of Ahinoam of Jezreel; and probably he would never have committed his shameless crime had not David's own sin loosed the bonds of parental authority. As it was, he hesitated, but was encouraged to it by his cousin, who was too subtle a man not to weigh David's character well before coming to the conclusion that Amnon might safely gratify his lusts. The name Tamar means "palm tree," and both she and Absalom were remarkable for their personal beauty.Parallel Commentaries ...
