Object. 3. 2. Sam. 13. 13. Tamar says to her brother Amnon; Speak I pray thee ⟨p. 36⟩to the King, and he will not deny me unto thee. Ans. The speech of Tamar is not simply to be taken, as if she desired that which she said, or as if it were lawful to be done, which she wished him to do; but only that she sought to put him off, by giving him this counsel, in respect of her own deliverance from that present danger; wherein she was.
