SCRIPTURE

"Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her." — 2 Samuel 13:17 (ASV)

Then he called his servants that ministered unto him
His domestic servants that waited on him:

and said, put now this [woman] out from me ;
she not willing to depart at once, he ordered her to be put out immediately by force; using her and speaking of her in a very rude and scandalous manner, calling her this, leaving it to be supplied, as they would understand it, this base woman, this strumpet

and bolt the door after her ;
that she might not return; this was more disgraceful still.
