2 Samuel 13:20 meaning and explanation
Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom.
2 Samuel 13:20, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Absalom speaks to Tamar after their half brother Amnon has raped her. His question is blunt, and his instruction to be quiet is damage control rather than comfort: he tells her to keep silent because the offender is family, and he says not to take it to heart.
