This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Amnon was so vexed - for she was a virgin - It has been well remarked that “the passion of love is nowhere so wasting and vexatious, as where it is unlawful. A quick sense of guilt, especially where it is enormous, as in the present instance, strikes the soul with horror; and the impossibility of an innocent gratification loads that horror with desperation: a conflict too cruel and too dreadful for human bearing.” - Delaney.
