Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 13:9

2 Samuel 13:9. She took a pan, &c.— Tamar came and prepared food at Amnon's desire, with all the housewifely skill of those simple ages, when an utter inattention to all the purposes of domestic life made no part even of a princess's praise. See Gen 18:6 and Herodot. lib. 8: cap. 137. After having baked the cakes, it is said, she took a pan, and poured them out; which makes it probable that she fried them in oil, according to the custom of that country. But he refused to eat. The... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Samuel 13:1-22

Amnon’s rape of Tamar 13:1-22Maacah bore Absalom ("father is peace") while David was reigning in Hebron (2 Samuel 3:3). He was David’s third-born. Amnon, his first-born, was also born in Hebron but by Ahinoam ("my brother is delight"; 2 Samuel 3:2). Both sons may have been in their late teens or early twenties at this time. Tamar ("palm tree," cf. Song of Solomon 7:7-8) was evidently born in Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 3:4-9), so she would have been younger than both of these brothers. The event... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 13:1-39

The Crime of Amnon, and Absalom’s VengeanceThis narrative and the history of Absalom’s rebellion is omitted in Chronicles.2. Tamar was in the women’s apartments, and, therefore, safe. She was his half-sister and Absalom’s sister: see 2 Samuel 3:2, 2 Samuel 3:3.4. Lean from day to day] i.e. getting thinner and paler every morning. 5. Make thyself sick] RV ’feign thyself sick.’13.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Samuel 13:9

(9) He refused to eat.—This also seemed natural enough in a whimsical invalid, and for the same reason his next requirement, “Have out all men from me,” awakened no suspicion in the mind of Tamar. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 13:1-37

CHAPTER XVII.ABSALOM AND AMNON.2 Samuel 13:1-37.LIVING sorrow, says the proverb, is worse than a dead. The dead sorrow had been very grievous to David; what the living sorrow, of which this chapter tells us, must have been, we cannot conceive. It is his own disorderly lusts, reappearing in his sons, that are the source of this new tragedy. It is often useful for parents to ask whether they would like to see their children doing what they allow in themselves; and in many cases the answer is an... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 13:1-39

WICKEDNESS INVADING DAVID'S FAMILY David did not have to wait long to see the sad governmental results of his sin begin to be manifest in his own family His son Ammon was so attracted by the beauty of his half sister Tamar that he became sick in entertaining thoughts of her, though he knew well that his lust was improper. When a friend of his, Jonadab, enquired about the cause of his indisposition, he confided in him about his lustful thoughts. Jonadab had no sense of moral decency, and was... read more
