His advice sets in motion a series of tragic events, reflecting the moral complexities and familial dysfunction within David's household. “Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare it in my sight so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’” Persons / Places / Events 1. JonadabA cunning and shrewd man, Jonadab is the cousin of Amnon and a nephew of King David. He is known for his manipulative advice, which leads to tragic consequences. 2. Amnon The eldest son of King David, Amnon is infatuated with his half-sister Tamar. His actions, influenced by Jonadab's advice, lead to sin and family turmoil. 3. Tamar The daughter of King David and sister of Absalom, Tamar is a victim of Amnon's deceit and lust.

The Event The deceitful plan concocted by Jonadab and executed by Amnon, which involves pretending to be ill to lure Tamar into a vulnerable situation. Teaching Points The Danger of Ungodly CounselBe cautious of advice that contradicts God's Word. Jonadab's counsel led to sin and destruction, reminding us to seek wisdom from Godly sources. The Consequences of Sin Sin often has far-reaching and devastating effects, not only on the sinner but also on those around them. Amnon's actions led to family strife and personal ruin. The Importance of Integrity Upholding integrity in our actions and relationships is crucial. Amnon's lack of integrity resulted in harm to Tamar and dishonor to his family. The Role of Accountability Surround yourself with individuals who hold you accountable to God's standards. Amnon lacked accountability, which contributed to his downfall. The Need for Repentance and Restoration When sin occurs, repentance and seeking restoration are vital. The account of Amnon and Tamar underscores the need for turning back to God after wrongdoing.

Why is Tamar's fate largely unaddressed after her assault in 2 Samuel 13:19-20? What Does 2 Samuel 13:5 Mean Jonadab told him“Jonadab told him…” (2 Samuel 13:5a) • Jonadab, introduced in 13:3 as “a very shrewd man,” embodies the danger of ungodly counsel. • Proverbs 12:26 warns, “A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.” Amnon’s tragedy begins not with his own idea but with a friend’s suggestion. • 1 Corinthians 15:33 echoes the principle: “Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’” Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill “…‘Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill.’” (13:5b) • Deception is Jonadab’s first tactic. Genesis 27:35 shows another family torn by deceit when Jacob steals Esau’s blessing. • Psalm 101:7 declares, “No one who practices deceit will dwell in My house; no one who speaks lies will stand in My presence.” Jonadab’s plan already stands opposed to God’s character. • Pretending sickness exploits the sympathy of others, a direct violation of Exodus 20:16’s command not to bear false witness. When your father comes to see you “…‘When your father comes to see you…’” (13:5c) • David’s expected visit reflects the compassion of a father (cf. 2 Samuel 12:16, where he pleads for his infant son). • Jonadab counts on David’s tender heart, twisting a father’s natural concern into a tool for sin. • Romans 16:18 cautions that smooth talk can deceive “the hearts of the naïve,” reminding us to test every appeal—even tender ones—by God’s standards. Say to him “…‘say to him…’” (13:5d) • Jonadab scripts Amnon’s words, underscoring how sin often follows a well-planned narrative (cf. Acts 5:3, where Ananias and Sapphira conspire). • Matthew 12:34 teaches that “the mouth speaks out of the overflow of the heart.” Accepting Jonadab’s script reveals Amnon’s willingness to sin. Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat “…‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat.’” (13:5e) • The request sounds harmless, yet beneath it lies Amnon’s lust (13:2). James 1:14-15 shows desire conceiving sin and birthing death. • Calling Tamar “my sister” heightens the horror; Leviticus 18:9 strictly forbids sexual relations with a sister. • Sin’s first step often masquerades as innocence—an “ordinary” favor that conceals evil intent (Proverbs 7:18-21). Let her prepare it in my sight “…‘Let her prepare it in my sight…’” (13:5f) • Amnon wants to prolong the encounter, feeding his imagination. Job 31:1 underscores the need for self-control: “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.” • Mark 9:47 urges drastic measures against stumbling; Amnon chooses the opposite, arranging full exposure to temptation. So I may watch her and eat it from her hand “…‘so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’” (13:5g) • Physical closeness is the goal, paving the way for the assault in 13:11-14. • 2 Timothy 2:22 commands, “Flee from youthful passions,” yet Amnon engineers circumstances to indulge them. • The verse illustrates Proverbs 30:20: sin can cloak itself in routine actions (“eat”) while plotting grave wickedness. summary 2 Samuel 13:5 reveals a calculated blueprint for sin: ungodly counsel, deliberate deception, manipulation of family affection, and willful exposure to temptation. Each phrase unpacks how unchecked desire, fueled by bad company, progresses toward devastating action. The verse warns us to reject deceitful advice, guard our hearts, and measure every plan against God’s unchanging Word. (5) Make thyself sick.--Rather, Feign thyself sick. It has already been mentioned in 2Samuel 13:2 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.Verse 5. - When thy father cometh to see thee. While the daughters lived in Oriental seclusion in the dwellings of their mothers, the sons seem to have had separate apartments assigned them in the palace. And David evidently was an affectionate father, who even went to the abodes of his sons in a loving and unceremonious way, to see how they fared. But Jonadab abused the king's affection, and made it the very means of removing the obstacles in the way of his daughter's disgrace. And like the whole tribe of flatterers and time servers, he employed his cleverness to gratify his patron's momentary passion, indifferent to the miserable consequences which must inevitably follow. For the least punishment which Amnon would have to bear would be exclusion from the succession to the crown, besides disgrace and his father's anger. Absalom, who was three or four years younger than Ashen, he despised, and counted for nothing.Parallel Commentaries ...
