Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass after this,.... After the sin of David with Bathsheba, his repentance for it, and pardon of it, and the birth of Solomon as a token of reconciliation; yet after all this the divine threatenings must take place; they had begun already in the death of the child begotten in adultery, and others here follow:
that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name [was] Tamar; she was his sister both by father and mother's side; the mother o, f them was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; she was a very comely person, her name signifies a palm tree:
and Amnon the son of David loved her; not in an honourable way, to make her his wife, but in a lustful manner, to make an harlot of her; he was David's eldest son by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, 2 Samuel 3:2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The history here, down to the end of 2 Samuel 23:0 (excepting a few particulars), is omitted in the Book of Chronicles.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XIII
Amnon falls in love with his half-sister Tamar, and feigns
himself sick, and requests her to attend him, 1-6.
David sends her to him, and he violates her, 7-14.
He then hates her, and expels her from his house, 15-17,
She rends her garments, puts ashes on her head, and goes forth
weeping, 18, 19.
She is met by Absalom her brother, who, understanding her case,
determines the death of Amnon, 20-22.
Two years after, he invites all his brothers to a
sheep-shearing, when he orders his servants to murder Amnon,
23-29.
Tidings come to David that Absalom has slain all the king's
sons, which fill him with the bitterest distress, 30, 31.
The rest soon arrive, and he finds that Amnon only is killed,
32-36.
Absalom flees to Talmai, king of Geshur, where he remains three
years, 37, 38.
David longs after Absalom, having become reconciled to the death
of Amnon, 39.
NOTES ON CHAP. XIII
Verse 2 Samuel 13:1. Whose name was Tamar — Tamar was the daughter of David and Maacah, daughter of the king of Geshur, and the uterine sister of Absalom. Amnon was David's eldest son by Ahinoam. She was therefore sister to Amnon only by the father's side, i.e., half-sister; but whole sister to Absalom.
