In the context of ancient Israel, attendants were often trusted servants who carried out the personal orders of their masters. This phrase highlights the authority and power dynamics at play, as Amnon, the son of King David, uses his position to command others to do his bidding, reflecting a misuse of power and a lack of moral integrity.<p><b>and said</b><br />The act of speaking in biblical narratives often carries significant weight, as words are seen as powerful and binding. In this context, Amnon's words are not just instructions but a reflection of his callousness and disregard for Tamar's dignity. The Hebrew verb "amar" is used here, emphasizing the direct and authoritative nature of his command.<p><b>'Throw this woman out</b><br />The phrase "throw this woman out" is harsh and dehumanizing. The Hebrew verb "shalach" means to send away or dismiss, but in this context, it conveys a sense of forceful expulsion. Amnon's use of "this woman" instead of Tamar's name further objectifies her, reducing her to a mere problem to be disposed of rather than a person deserving of respect and compassion.<p><b>and bolt the door behind her</b><br />Bolting the door signifies a finality and a desire to prevent any return or reconciliation. The Hebrew word "na'al" means to lock or secure, indicating Amnon's intent to completely sever any connection with Tamar after his grievous act. This action symbolizes the closing off of any opportunity for justice or redemption at that moment, highlighting the severity of Tamar's plight and the societal failure to protect and honor her.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_samuel/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(17) <span class= "bld">Put now this woman out.</span>--Amnon doubtless intended to give the impression that Tamar had behaved shamefully towards him.
