[:en]Thoughts from 2 Samuel 13[:]

[:en]Amnon, the son of David fell in love with Tamar, the sister of Absalom.  He thought of a scheme and arranged to have Tamar come to his bedroom and rape her.  David did nothing to punish Amnon.  As a result, Absalom hated Amnon.  Two years later, Absalom set a plot and invited all the king’s son to come to Baal Hazor.  He instructed his men to strike down Amnon when he was in high spirits from drinking wine.  He took revenge against Amnon for raping his sister, Tamar.  David found no peace in his own family as a result of his sin.[:]
