17 He called his personal servant and said, "Get this woman out of my sight and bolt the door after her."
17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
17 He called the young man who served him and said, "Put this woman out of my presence and bolt the door after her."
17 He called for his valet. "Get rid of this woman. Get her out of my sight! And lock the door after her."
17 Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, "Here! Put this woman out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her."
17 He shouted for his servant and demanded, "Throw this woman out, and lock the door behind her!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:17
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.
