      1  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  At a sheep-shearing among all the king's sons, he kills
        Amnon.
    31  David grieving at the news, is comforted by Jonadab.
    37  Absalom flies to Talmai at Geshur.

    VERSE 7
    
    
    VERSE 8 
     - she took.
      Dr. Russell says, "The Eastern ladies often wash their own
      hands, prepare cakes, pastry, etc. in their apartments; and
      some few particular dishes are cooked by themselves, but not
      in their apartments:  on such occasions, they go to some room
      near the kitchen."
    
    - flour.  or, paste.  and made cakes.
      Rather, as Mr. Parkhurst renders, "and tossed it
      (wattelabbaiv) in his sight, and dressed the tossed cakes
      (halleveevoth)."  This will receive illustration from the
      account which Mr. Jackson gives of the Arabian manner of
      kneading and baking.  "They have a small place built with
      clay, between two and three feet high, having a hole at the
      bottom for the convenience of drawing out the ashes, something
      similar to that of a brick-kiln.  The oven is usually about
      fifteen inches wide at top, and gradually grows wider to the
      bottom.  It is heated with wood; and when sufficiently hot,
      and perfectly clear from smoke, having nothing but clear
      embers at bottom, which continue to reflect great heat, they
      prepare the dough in a large bowl, and mould the cakes to the
      desired size on a board or stone placed near the oven.  After
      they have kneaded the cake to a proper consistency, they pat
      it a little, then toss it about with great dexterity in one
      hand till it is as thin as they choose to make it.  They then
      wet one side of it with water, at the same time wetting the
      hand and arm with which they put it into the oven."
    
       * :8
    
    
    VERSE 9 
     - And Ammon.

      The Septuagint and Vulgate add, [                            ]
      et noluit contristare spiritum Amnon filii sui, quoniam
      diligebat eum, quia primogenitus 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.
    
       * 2Sa 3:28,29; 12:5,10 Ge 34:7 1Sa 2:22-25,29 Ps 101:8

       * Ru 2:4
    
    
    VERSE 26 
     - let my brother.
      He urged this with the more plausibility because Amnon was the
      first-born, and presumptive heir to the crown; and he had
      dissembled his resentment so long and so well that he was not
      suspected.
    
       * 2Sa 3:27; 11:13-15; 20:9 Ps 55:21
    
    
    VERSE 27

       * :3-5
    - Shimeah.
       * 1Sa 16:9
    - Shammah.  David's brother.
      This was a very bad man:  he had given his cousin Amnon the
      most detestable advice; and here speaks coolly of a most
      bloody tragedy of which he had been the cause.
    
    - appointment.  Heb. mouth.  determined.  or, settled.
       * Ge 27:41 Ps 7:14 Pr 24:11,12

       * 2Sa 12:21; 18:33
    
    
    VERSE 37 
     - Absalom fled.
      As Absalom had committed wilful murder, he could not avail
      himself of a city of refuge; but went to Talmai, king of
      Geshur, his maternal grandfather.
    
    - Talmai.
       * 2Sa 3:3 1Ch 3:2
    - Ammihud.  or, Ammihur.

     - A.M. 2974-2977.  B.C. 1030-1027.  An. Ex. Is. 461-464.
      Geshur.
      This was not the Geshur lying between Philistia and Egypt,
      (Jos 13:13.  1 Sa 8 27:8,) but another in Syria; probably the
      same as that beyond Jordan, whose inhabitants are joined with
      those of Maachathi, De 3:14.  Jos 12:5.
    
       * 2Sa 14:23,32; 15:8
