11 But when she took it to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, "Come to bed with me, my sister."
11 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
11 But when she brought them near him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."
11 But when she got ready to feed him, he grabbed her and said, "Come to bed with me, sister!"
11 Now when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."
11 But as she was feeding him, he grabbed her and demanded, "Come to bed with me, my darling sister."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:11
Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:1-20
(Read 2 Samuel 13:1-20)
From henceforward David was followed with one trouble after another. Adultery and murder were David's sins, the like sins among his children were the beginnings of his punishment: he was too indulgent to his children. Thus David might trace the sins of his children to his own misconduct, which must have made the anguish of the chastisement worse. Let no one ever expect good treatment from those who are capable of attempting their seduction; but it is better to suffer the greatest wrong than to commit the least sin.
