In this passage, the Scriptures relate the story of Amnon and Tamar. Amnon is David's eldest son. Amnon is lovesick for his half-sister, Tamar. Under the influence of a wicked friend, Amnon tricks Tamar into caring for him while he is feigning illness. When they're alone together, Amnon forces himself on her. Tamar is devastated and runs to her brother, Absalom's house. Absalom begins to plot Amnon's murder because David won't punish his son for the crime.
