SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:18
(Y tenía ella sobre sí una ropa de colores, traje que las hijas vírgenes de los reyes vestían.) Y su criado la echó pues fuera, y cerró la puerta tras ella.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 13:18
Verse 18. A garment of divers colours] See the note on Genesis xxxvii. 3, where the same words occur.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And [she had] a garment of divers colours upon her , etc.] Of embroidered work, which made her the more observable, and her shame the more manifest. Whether this was interwoven with threads of various colours, or embroidered with figures of flowers, animals, etc. and wrought with the needle, or was painted with different colours, or made up of pieces of various colours, is not certain. (See Gill on “ Genesis 37:3”); but according to Braunius it was neither, and so the coat of Joseph, but was a garment with sleeves, reaching down to the ankles, and pieced at the borders with fringe; and, indeed, garments of flowers and various colours were such as in other nations, as in Athens, harlots wore and not virgins, as follows: for with such robes were the king’s daughters [that were] virgins apparelled ; which they wore to distinguish them both from common people, and from married persons of the same quality: then the servants brought her out, and bolted the door after her ; laid hold on her, and brought her out by main force; thrust her out of doors, and turned the key upon her.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-20 - From henceforward David was followed with one trouble after another Adultery and murder were David's sins, the like sins among his children were the beginnings of his punishment: he was too indulgent to his children. Thus David might trace the sins of his children to his ow misconduct, which must have made the anguish of the chastisement worse Let no one ever expect good treatment from those who are capable of attempting their seduction; but it is better to suffer the greates wrong than to commit the least sin.
