And Tamar put ashes on her head,.... In token of sorrow and distress; see Joshua 7:6;
and rent her garment of divers colours that [was] on her; signifying that her virginity was rent from her in a forcible manner, or that she was ravished:
and laid her hand on her head; through grief and shame; see Jeremiah 2:37;
and went on crying; from Amnon's house to her brother Absalom's, as one abused and injured.
