Violence, Vengeance, and a Fractured House: Tamar, Amnon, and Absalom
These difficult and dramatic chapters expose the unraveling of David’s household. The assault of Tamar by Amnon, Absalom’s calculated revenge, and Joab’s political maneuvering reveal a kingdom torn by sin and silence. Through parable, intrigue, and rising rebellion, we see both the tragic consequences of David’s past failures and profound lessons about justice, mercy, and leadership under strain.
