Exegesis
The comparative mēʾaḥeret {מֵאַחֶ֛רֶת | mē·ʾă·ḥe·reṯ} “more than” with the relative clause asher ʿasita ʿimmî {אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֥יתָ עִמִּ֖י | ʾă·šer ʿā·śi·ṯā ʿim·mî} “that which you have done to me” establishes a contrast.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:16
And she said to him, “No, do not speak of this great wrong , for the wrong of sending me away is greater than that which you have done to me.” But he refused to listen to her.
