These were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: The firstborn was Amnon, whose mother was Ahinoam from Jezreel; the second was Daniel, whose mother was Abigail from Carmel;the third was Absalom whose mother was Maacah, daughter of King Talmai of Geshur; the fourth was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith;the fifth was Shephatiah, whose mother was Abital; the sixth was Ithream, whose mother was Eglah.These six were born to David in Hebron, where he ruled for seven years and six months. He ruled thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might and the beginning of my strength, outstanding in dignity, outstanding in power.You are destructive like water and will not excel, for you got on your father’s bed, then you defiled it– he got on my couch!

Then Abigail quickly went and mounted her donkey, with five of her female servants accompanying her. She followed David’s messengers and became his wife.David had also married Ahinoam from Jezreel; the two of them became his wives.

Now David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. In the course of time David’s son Amnon fell madly in love with her.But Amnon became frustrated because he was so lovesick over his sister Tamar. For she was a virgin, and to Amnon it seemed out of the question to do anything to her.Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty man.He asked Amnon,“ Why are you, the king’s son, so depressed every morning? Can’t you tell me?” So Amnon said to him,“ I’m in love with Tamar the sister of my brother Absalom.”Jonadab replied to him,“ Lie down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes in to see you, say to him,‘ Please let my sister Tamar come in so she can fix some food for me. Let her prepare the food in my sight so I can watch. Then I will eat from her hand.’”So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick. When the king came in to see him, Amnon said to the king,“ Please let my sister Tamar come in so she can make a couple of cakes in my sight. Then I will eat from her hand.”So David sent Tamar to the house saying,“ Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare some food for him.”So Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, who was lying down. She took the dough, kneaded it, made some cakes while he watched, and baked them.But when she took the pan and set it before him, he refused to eat. Instead Amnon said,“ Get everyone out of here!” So everyone left.Then Amnon said to Tamar,“ Bring the cakes into the bedroom; then I will eat from your hand.” So Tamar took the cakes that she had prepared and brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.As she brought them to him to eat, he grabbed her and said to her,“ Come on! Get in bed with me, my sister!”But she said to him,“ No, my brother! Don’t humiliate me! This just isn’t done in Israel! Don’t do this foolish thing!How could I ever be rid of my humiliation? And you would be considered one of the fools in Israel! Just speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”But he refused to listen to her. He overpowered her and humiliated her by raping her.Then Amnon greatly despised her. His disdain toward her surpassed the love he had previously felt toward her. Amnon said to her,“ Get up and leave!”But she said to him,“ No I won’t, for sending me away now would be worse than what you did to me earlier!” But he refused to listen to her.He called his personal attendant and said to him,“ Take this woman out of my sight and lock the door behind her!”( Now she was wearing a long robe, for this is what the king’s virgin daughters used to wear.) So Amnon’s attendant removed her and bolted the door behind her.Then Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the long robe she was wearing. She put her hands on her head and went on her way, wailing as she went.Her brother Absalom said to her,“ Was Amnon your brother with you? Now be quiet, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take it so seriously!” Tamar, devastated, lived in the house of her brother Absalom.Now King David heard about all these things and was very angry.But Absalom said nothing to Amnon, either bad or good, yet Absalom hated Amnon because he had humiliated his sister Tamar.Two years later Absalom’s sheepshearers were in Baal Hazor, near Ephraim. Absalom invited all the king’s sons.Then Absalom went to the king and said,“ My shearers have begun their work. Let the king and his servants go with me.”But the king said to Absalom,“ No, my son. We shouldn’t all go. We shouldn’t burden you in that way.” Though Absalom pressed him, the king was not willing to go. Instead, David blessed him.Then Absalom said,“ If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king replied to him,“ Why should he go with you?”But when Absalom pressed him, he sent Amnon and all the king’s sons along with him.Absalom instructed his servants,“ Look! When Amnon is drunk and I say to you,‘ Strike Amnon down,’ kill him then and there. Don’t fear! Is it not I who have given you these instructions? Be strong and courageous!”So Absalom’s servants did to Amnon exactly what Absalom had instructed. Then all the king’s sons got up; each one rode away on his mule and fled.
