Explanation preview
Amnon has lured his half sister Tamar into his bedroom by pretending to be ill and asking their father David to send her to prepare food for him. Here he seizes her and demands sex, calling her "my sister," which heightens the outrage: she is a virgin daughter of the king, and the law forbade such a union (Leviticus 18:9).
