5<\/strong>. make thyself sick<\/em> ] Feign thyself sick<\/strong>, and so in 2Sa 13:6<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n to see thee<\/em> ] To visit in sickness, as in Psa 41:6<\/span>; 2Ki 8:29<\/span>.<\/p>\n Make thyself sick – <\/B>Feign thyself to be ill. (Compare 2Sa 14:2<\/span>.)<\/P> That I may see it – <\/B>He was to feign that he could not fancy anything that came from the kitchen, but that if he saw it cooked he should be able to eat it.<\/P> <\/p>\n Let my sister Tamar come; <\/B>so he calls her, to prevent the suspicion of any dishonest design upon so near a relation, whom neither nature nor respect and affection would permit him to vitiate. <\/P> Eat it at her hand; <\/B>pretending that his stomach was so nice that he could eat nothing but what he saw dressed, and that by a person whom he much affected. <\/P> <\/p>\n And Jonadab said unto him<\/strong>,…. Being a subtle man, he presently formed a scheme to relieve him, and open a way for the enjoyment of what he desired:<\/p>\n lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick<\/strong>; feign thyself sick, pretend that thou art so, by lying down on the bed, and making complaints of one kind or another:<\/p>\n and when thy father cometh to see thee<\/strong>; as he quickly would, after hearing of his illness, being very affectionate to his children:<\/p>\n say unto him, I pray thee let, my sister Tamar come, and give me meat<\/strong>; here he is directed to call her not Absalom’s sister, but his own, the more to cover his ill design upon her:<\/p>\n and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her hand<\/strong>; pretending that his stomach was very weak and squeamish, that he could not eat anything which his servants dressed for him, and which he did not see done with his own eyes.<\/p>\n (5) Make thyself sick.<\/strong>Rather, Feign thyself sick. <\/em>It has already been mentioned in 2Sa. 13:2<\/span> that Amnon fell sick. That was the real pining of ungoverned and ungratified passion; this was a crafty feigning of sickness. Yet the miserable condition to which Amnon was brought by the former would give colour and plausibility to the latter.<\/p>\n 2Sa 13:5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her hand.<\/p>\n Ver. 5. Lay thee down on thy bed, &c.<\/strong> ] Pestilent counsel; such as is oft instilled into young princes, to their utter undoing, and the public mischief: Nero, for instance, and our Henry III, who was called Regni dilapadator; <\/em> and another German prince, of whom it was said, Esset alius, si esset apud alios,<\/em> he would have been better if he had had better men about him.<\/p>\n make = feign. <\/p>\n meat = heart-shaped cakes. Occurs only here and in verses: 2Sa 13:6-7, 2Sa 6:8, 2Sa 6:10. <\/p>\n Lay thee: 2Sa 16:21-23, 2Sa 17:1-4, Psa 50:18, Psa 50:19, Pro 19:27, Mar 6:24, Mar 6:25, Act 23:15<\/p>\n 2Sa 13:5. Jonadab said, Make thyself sick He advises Amnon to pretend that his stomach was so weak that he could eat nothing that his servants dressed, and therefore desired his sister, who understood how to make delicate dishes, might come and prepare something that he could relish. Ah! false, treacherous, and base flatterer! that could thus tempt thy prince to so vile a crime! More than the poison of asps is under the lips of such friends and counsellors.<\/p>\n 13:5 And Jonadab said unto him, {c} Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her hand.<\/p>\n (c) Here we see that there is no enterprise so wicked that it cannot be encouraged to further wickedness.<\/p>\n And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Samuel 13:5”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8334\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
