Context of 2 Samuel 13:15

13And I, whither shall I carry my reproach? and thou wouldest be as one of the infamous in Israel. And now, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee. 14But he would not hearken to her voice, and was stronger than she, and humbled her and lay with her. And Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred, for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone. 16And she said to him, There is no cause for this evil in sending me away, [which] is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her. 17Then he called his young man that attended upon him, and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door after her.

Commentaries on 2 Samuel 13:15

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Hated her exceedingly - Amnon's conduct to his sister was not only brutal but inexplicable. It would be easy to form conjectures concerning the cause, but we can arrive at no certainty.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 15The fact that Amnon’s feelings for Tamar quickly changed into hate shows that what he called “love” (2 Samuel 13:4) was actually selfish sexual desire, not genuine care for her.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1515. Then Amnon hated her exceedingly--It is not unusual for persons instigated by violent and irregular passions to go from one extreme to another. In Amnon's case the sudden revulsion is easily accounted for; the atrocity of his conduct, with all the feelings of shame, remorse, and dread of exposure and punishment, now burst upon his mind, rendering the presence of Tamar intolerably painful to him.Read the comment
