If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about the servant forcing Tamar outside and locking the door first in the verse to connect it with Amnon’s instruction in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [So the one attending him brought her outside, and he locked the door behind her. Now a long robe was on her, for thus the virgin daughters of the king dressed in garments]
Note 2 topic: writing-background
וְעָלֶ֨יהָ֙ כְּתֹ֣נֶת פַּסִּ֔ים כִּי֩ כֵ֨ן תִּלְבַּ֧שְׁןָ בְנוֹת־הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ הַבְּתוּלֹ֖ת
and_[was],on,her (Some words not found in UHB: and_[was],on,her robe_of long-sleeved that/for/because/then/when so clothed daughters_of the=king the,virgins robes and,he_made_go_out ,her servant_of,his the,outside and,he_locked the,door after,her )
The author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

It might seem that the expression dressed in garments contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [dressed]

The pronoun him refers to Amnon. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And the one attending Amnon]

¶
So the servant pushed her outside and locked the door behind her.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
