1 ¶ Now these were the sons
of David who were born to him in Hebron: The firstborn was Amnon, by
Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second, Daniel, by Abigail the Carmelitess;
2 the third, Absalom the son
of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur; the fourth, Adonijah the son
of Haggith;
3 the fifth, Shephatiah, by
Abital; the sixth, Ithream, by his wife Eglah.
4 These six were born
to him in Hebron. There he reigned seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem
he reigned thirty-three years.
5 And these were born to him
in Jerusalem: Shimea, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon — four by Bathshua
the daughter of Ammiel.
6 Also there were
Ibhar, Elishama, Eliphelet,
7 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
8 Elishama, Eliada, and
Eliphelet — nine in all.

2 Samuel 13
14 However, he would not heed
her voice; and being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
15 Then Amnon hated her
exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than
the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be
gone!"
16 So she said to him,
"No, indeed! This evil of sending me away is worse than the other
that you did to me." But he would not listen to her.
17 Then he called his servant
who attended him, and said, "Here! Put this woman out, away from
me, and bolt the door behind her."
18 Now she had on a robe of
many colors, for the king’s virgin daughters wore such apparel. And his servant
put her out and bolted the door behind her.
19 Then Tamar put ashes on
her head, and tore her robe of many colors that was on her, and laid her
hand on her head and went away crying bitterly.
20 And Absalom her brother said
to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my
sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart." So
Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 ¶ But when King David heard of all these
things, he was very angry.
22 And Absalom spoke to his
brother Amnon neither good nor bad. For Absalom hated Amnon, because he had
forced his sister Tamar.
So
what!!! So what if daddy was angry – So what if the King was angry … So
what!!! He never did anything about it.
