| 1And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. |

| a fair sister whose name was Tamar. who was the daughter of his mother. |
|

|
| 2And Amnon was distressed to the point of making himself sick, on account of Tamar his sister, for she was a virgin; and it seemed difficult in Amnon's eyes to do anything unto her. |
|

|
| for she was a virgin. and was hidden within the house, refusing to go outside. Consequently: “it seemed difficult in Amnon’s eyes, etc.” It was concealed and hidden from him what excuse he would be able to seek to lie with her. [This is] similar to: כי יפלא ממך : (Deut. 17:8) which Onkelos translates: “if it be hidden from you.” |
|
כי בתולה היא.
צנועה בבית ואינה יוצאת לחוץ, לפיכך ויפלא בעיני אמנון וגו', נכסה ונעלם ממנו מה תואנה יכול לבקש וישכב עמה, כמו (דברים יז ח): כי יפלא ממך, ארי יתכסי ממך:

| 3And Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimah the brother of David; and Jonadab was a very sly man. |
