This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_13:19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that [was] on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
Ver. 19. And Tamar put ashes on her head.] Most grievously bewailing in the open street the loss of her virginity; exclaiming against Amnon, as Chrysostom thinketh, and saying that he had ravished her, lest she should be thought to have been put away as a whore.
And rent her garment of divers colours] To show that her virginity had been by force rent from her.
And laid her hand on her head.] To cover her face, that seat of shamefacedness. See Jer_2:37.
And went on crying.] She cried not out before, that she might have been rescued: but now, like one grown desperate, as not caring what became of her, she made known by her crying what abuse she had suffered.
