Verse 2. Her. He had seen her on some solemn occasions, when virgins were allowed to go out, well attended. At other times they were so strictly guarded, that Amnon thought it almost impossible to gratify his passion, ( Calmet.) which made him grow pale. He afterwards feigned himself to be more sickly than he really was, verse 6. Bible.
