Context

Amnon and Tamar

⁸So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked them.⁹Then she brought the pan and set it down before him, but he refused to eat. “Send everyone away!” said Amnon. And everyone went out.

Summary

In this verse, Tamar, the daughter of King David, responds to her half-brother Amnon's sinful advances by pleading with him not to violate her. Tamar appeals to Amnon to seek counsel from their father, David, rather than committing this shameful act. Her words reflect her desire to protect her purity and honor, as well as her hope that Amnon would reconsider his actions and respect her as his sister. This tragic incident sets the stage for the devastating consequences that will unfold within King David's family due to the sins of his children.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And she took a pan, and poured them out before him,.... Out of the frying pan, in which they were, into another dish; and all this was done in his presence, that he might see and know of what, and in what manner it was made, that his stomach might not recoil at it: but he refused to eat: for that was not what he wanted: and Amnon said, have out all men from me; as if company was troublesome to him, and he wanted rest, &c. and they went out every man from him; at his orders, that he might get some sleep, as he seemed desirous of it.
