Exegesis
The coordinated phrases lemera {לְמֵרָע | lə-mê-rāʿ} ‘for evil’ and v’ad tov {וְעַד־טוֹב | wə-ʿad-ṭôv} ‘and even for good’ form an idiom meaning ‘not at all,’ emphasizing total silence.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:22
And Absalom did not speak with Amnon either for evil or for good, because Absalom hated Amnon on account of the matter that he had afflicted Tamar his sister.
