| Notes |
- Despite the biblical prohibition on sexual relations between half-brothe r s and sisters, (Leviticus 18:11) Amnon had an overwhelming desire for T am ar. He acted on advice from his cousin, Jonadab the son of Shimeah, Da vid 's brother, to lure Tamar into his quarters by pretending to be sic k an d desiring her to cook a special meal for him. While in his quarters , an d ignoring her protests, he raped her, then had her expelled from hi s hou se. King David was angry about the incident, but could not bring hi msel f to punish his eldest son, while Absalom, Amnon's half-brother an d Tamar 's full brother, nursed a bitter grudge against Amnon for the rap e of hi s sister.
Two years later, to avenge Tamar, Absalom invited all of David's son s t o a feast, then had his servants kill Amnon after he had become drun k wit h wine. (2 Samuel 13)
