Amnun in tomorrow. 13. In the course of time, Amnun, son of David fell in love with Tamar. The beautiful sister of Absalom, son of David. Amnun 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 Amnun had a friend named Jonathan, Jonathan, son of Shamia, David's brother, Jonathan

1:06but Jonathan was a very shrewd man. He asked Amnun, why do you the king's son look so haggard morning after morning, won't you tell me? Amnun said to him, I am in love with Tamar. My brother, Absalom, sister. Go to bed and pretend to be ill. Join a dev. Said, when your father comes to see you, say to him, I like my sister Tamar to come. It gives me something to eat. Or prepare the food in my sight. So I may watch her and then eat it from her hand. So Amnun lay down in pretend to be ill. When the king came to see him, Amnun said to him, I would like to see it. I would like my sister Tamar to come and make some special bread in my sight.

2:12So I may eat from her hand. David sent word to Tamar at the palace. Go to the house of your brother, Amnun, and prepare some food for him. So Tamar went to the house of a brother, Amnun, who was lying 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. Then everyone out here, Amnun said, so everyone loved him. Then Amnun said to Tamar, bring the food here into my bread room so I may eat from your hand. And Tamar took the bread she had prepared and brought it to her brother, Amnun, 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.

3:15Such 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 like, would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king. You 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 Amnun hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnun 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 refused to listen to her. He called his personal servant and said, get this woman out of here and bolt the door after her.

4:16So he, his servant, put her out and bolted the door after. She was wearing a richly or ornamented robe. For this was the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king wore. Tamar 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 Amnun? Your brother been with you? Be quiet now, my sister. Use your brother. Don't take to sing the heart. 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 Amnun.

5:16Either good or bad, he hated Amnun because he had disgraced his sister Tamar. Absalom kills Amnun. Two years later, when Absalom's sheep shears were at Baal Hazar 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. An Absalom said, if not, please let us let my brother Abnun come with us.

6:17The king asked him, why should he go with you? But Absalom urged him, so he sent with him Abnun and the rest of the king's sons. Absalom ordered his men, listen, when Abnun is in high spirits from drinking wine, and I say to you, strike Abnun down, then kill him. Don't be afraid, have not I giving you the sword, be strong and brave. So Absalom's men did to Abnun, what Absalom had ordered, then all the king's sons got mounted their mules in flood. 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, poor as close, and lied down on the ground, and all the servants stood by with their clothes torn.

7:20But John Nadab, son of Shamia, David's brother said, my Lord should not think that they killed all the princes. Excuse me. That they killed all the princes. Only Abnun is dead. This has been Absalom's expressed intention ever since the J Abnun raped his sister Timor. My Lord, the king should not be concerned about the report that all the king's sons are dead. Only Abnun is dead. Absalom had fled. Now the men standing watch were 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 Oran name on the side of the hill.

8:28John Nadab said to the king, see the king's sons are here. It has happened, just as your servant did. Have you finished speaking? The king's sons came in, wailing loudly. The king too. And all the servants went to very barely. Absalom fled and went to Timor. So, tell my son of Amahud, the king of Gesher, 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 Abnun's death. That's where we're going to stop. We'll pick back up with Absalom, returns to Jerusalem 14.

9:33Did 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 discipline 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 Abnun and had him killed. Absalom was afraid of David and ran away from him. But David missed his son. Absalom let it truck 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.
