2 Samuel 13:15-17
New English Translation
15 Then Amnon greatly despised her.[a] His disdain toward her surpassed the love he had previously felt toward her.[b] Amnon said to her, “Get up and leave!”
16 But she said to him, “No I won’t, for sending me away now would be worse than what you did to me earlier!”[c] But he refused to listen to her. 17 He called his personal attendant and said to him, “Take this woman out of my sight[d] and lock the door behind her!”

- 2 Samuel 13:15 tn Heb “and Amnon hated her with very great hatred.”
- 2 Samuel 13:15 tn Heb “for greater was the hatred with which he hated her than the love with which he loved her.”
- 2 Samuel 13:16 tn Heb “No, because this great evil is [worse] than the other which you did with me, by sending me away.” Perhaps the broken syntax reflects her hysteria and outrage.
- 2 Samuel 13:17 tn Heb “send this [one] from upon me to the outside.”
