Exegesis
The infinitive lə-hitkhalot {לְהִתְחַלּ֗וֹת | lə-ḥit-ḥal-lōṯ} ‘to make himself ill’ expresses reflexive causation introduced by ba-ʿavur {בַּֽעֲבוּר֙ | ba-ʿa-vur} ‘because of’, linked to tamar {תָּמָ֣ר | tā-mār} ‘Tamar’, with ʼaḥōtô {אֲחֹת֔וֹ | ʾa-ḥō-to} ‘his sister’ marking the relationship.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:2
And Amnon was distressed to the point of making himself ill because of Tamar, his sister, for she was a virgin , and it was difficult in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.
