Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
he was very wroth: The Septuagint and Vulgate add,
ךבי ןץך וכץנחףו פן נםוץלב לםשם פןץ ץיןץ בץפןץ, ןפי חדבנב בץפןם, ןפי נסשפןפןךןע בץפןץ חם.
et noluit contristare spiritum Amnon filii sui, quoniam diligebat eum, quia primogenituj erat ei.
"But he would not grieve the soul of Amnon his son, for he loved him because he was his first-born." The same addition is found in Josephus; and it is probable that it once formed a part of the Hebrew Text. 2 Samuel 3:28, 2 Samuel 3:29, 2 Samuel 12:5, 2 Samuel 12:10, Genesis 34:7, 1 Samuel 2:22-25, 1 Samuel 2:29, Psalms 101:8 "
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But when King David heard of all these things,.... Of Amnon's ravishing Tamar, and turning her out of doors in that inhuman manner he did, and of her distress upon it:
he was very wroth; with Amnon; but we read not of any reproof he gave him, nor of any punishment inflicted on him by him. Abarbinel thinks the reason why he was not punished was because his sin was not cognizable by a court of judicature, nor was punishable by any way, or with any kind of death inflicted by the sanhedrim, as stoning, burning, c. nor even by scourging, because there were no witnesses but the punishment of it was cutting off, i.e. by the hand of God. The Jews say e a law was made on this, that virgins or unmarried persons should not be alone; for if this was done to the daughter of a king, much more might it be done to the daughter of a private man; and if to a modest person, much more to an impudent one.
e T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 21. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Septuagint adds, what is a good explanation, “but he did not vex the spirit of Amnon his son, because he loved him, because he was his first-born.” This want of justice in David’s conduct, and favoritism to Amnon, probably rankled in Absalom’s heart, and was the first seed of his after rebellion.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 13:21. But when King David heard — To this verse the Septuagint add the following words: Και ουκ ελυπησε το πνευμα Αμνων του υἱου αυτου, ὁτι ηγαπα αυτον, ὁτι πρωτοτοκος αυτου ην; "But he would not grieve the soul of Amnon his son, for he loved him, because he was his first-born." The same addition is found in the Vulgate and in Josephus, and it is possible that this once made a part of the Hebrew text.
