In the course of time, Amnon, Son of David fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of Absalom, son of David.

Amnon became frustrated to the point of illness on the count of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her. Now Amnon had a friend named Jonathan Janadab. Son of Shemiyah David's brother, Jonah Depp, was a very shrewd man. He asked Amnon, why do you the king's son look at Selhaggart morning after morning? Won't you tell me? Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. Go to bed and pretend to be ill.

Jonah Depp said, when your father comes to see you, say to him, I like my sister tomorrow to come and give me something to eat. I prepare the food in my sight so I may watch her and then eat it from her hand. So I have none laid down and pretend to be ill. when the king came to see him Amnon said to him I would like to see I would like my sister Tamar

to come and make some special bread in my sight so I may eat from her hand David sent word to tomorrow at the palace go to the house of your brother Amnon and prepare some food for him so tomorrow went to the house of her brother Amnon

who was lunched down. She took some dough, netted it, made the bread in his sight, and baked it. Then she took the pan and served him the bread, but he refused to eat. Send everyone out of here, Amnon said, so everyone left him. Then Amnon said to tomorrow, bring the food here into my bedroom so I may eat from your hand. And tomorrow took the bread, she had prepared. and brought it to her brother, Abnon, in his bedroom. But when she took it to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, Come to bed with me, my sister.

Don't, my brother, she said to him. Don't force me. Such a thing should not be done in Israel. Don't do this wicked thing. What about me? Where could I get rid of my disgrace? and what about you? You would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel.

Please speak to the king. He will not keep me from being married to you. But he refused to listen to her. And since he was stronger than she, he raped her. Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, get up and get out.

No, she said to him. Sending me away would be a greater wrong than what you have already done to me, but you refuse to listen to her. He called his personal servant and said, Get this woman out of here and bolt the door after her. So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her. She was wearing a ritually or tithe. ornamented robe, for this was the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king wore.

Tomorrow put ashes on her head and tore the ornamented robe she was wearing. She put her hand on her head and went away, weeping aloud as she went. Her brother Absalom said to her, Has that Amnon, your brother been with you? Be quiet now, my son. sister, he is your brother. Don't take this thing a heart. And tomorrow lived in her brother,

Absalom's house, a desolate woman. When King David heard all this, he was furious. Absalom never said a word to Abnon. Either good or bad, he hated Abnon because he had disgraced his sister to Mar. Absalom kills Abnan. Two years later, when Absalom's sheep shearers were at Balhazar near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king's sons to come there.

Absalom went to the king and said, Your servant has had shears come. Will the king and his officials please join me? No, my son, the king replied. all of us should not go. We would only be a burden to you. Although Absalom urged him, he still refused to go, but gave him his blessing. And Absalom said, if not, please let us let my brother Abnon come with us.

The king asked him, why should he go with you? But Absalom urged him, so he sent with him Abnon. and the rest of the king's sons. Absalom ordered his men. Listen, when Abnon is in high spirits from drinking wine, and I say to you, strike Abnon down, then kill him. Don't be afraid. Have not I given you this order?

Be strong and brave. So Absalom's men did to Abnon what Absalom had ordered. Then all the king's sons got to. mounted their mules and fled. While they were on their way, the report came to David. Absalom has struck down all the king's sons. Not one of them is left. The king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn. But John Adab, son of Shameda, David's brother said, My lord should not think that they killed all the princes.

That they killed all the princes. Only Abnon is dead. This has been Absalom's expressed intention ever since that Jay Abnon raped his sister Tamar. My lord, the king, should not be concerned about the report that all the king's sons are dead. Only Abnon is dead. Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. Now the man standing watch looked up and saw many people on the road west of him coming down the side of the hill. The watchman went and told the king, I see men in the direction of Horan name on the side of the hill.

Johnadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are here. It has happened just as your servant did. Has he finished speaking? The king's sons came in, wailing loudly. The king too, and all his servants wept very bitterly. Absalom fled and wanted to Tum my son of Amahud, the king of Geshire,

but King David mourned for his son every day. After Absalom fled and went to Gesher, he stayed there three years. In the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled concerning Abnon's death. That's where we're going to stop. We'll pick back up with Absalom, returns to Jerusalem 14.

Did you know, was David a good father? 1321. Although David was a good soldier and a great king, he was not a good father. He did not disappoint his children when they did wrong. Second, Samuel 13 shows what can happen when a father fails to discipline his children. People in Bible times, Absalom.

Absalom was one of David's sons. He planned revenge against his brother Abnon and had him killed. Absalom was afraid of David and ran away from him, but David missed his son. Absalom later tracked the Israelites into thinking he should be king. He lied a rebellion against his father, and many people were killed. Absalom died at this time too.
