The passage narrates the rape of Tamar by her half-brother Amnon: Amnon feigns illness on the advice of his cunning cousin Jonadab to lure Tamar into his private chamber, assaults her despite her explicit resistance and reasoned plea that he could simply ask their father David to give her to him in marriage, then immediately turns to hatred and has her thrown out. Tamar, wearing the ornamented robe marking her as an unmarried royal daughter, tears it in public mourning and lives thereafter \"desolate\" in her brother Absalom's house. The chapter then traces the aftermath: David is furious but takes no action against Amnon (the Septuagint notes explicitly it is because Amnon is his firstborn), Absalom nurses silent hatred for two years before engineering Amnon's assassination at a sheep-shearing feast, then flees into exile in Geshur. The text's distinctive feature is its unflinching attention to Tamar's articulate resistance and her rituals of public lamentation, giving her a moral voice the narrative takes seriously even as every male around her \u2014 father, brother, assailant \u2014 fails to act justly on her behalf.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: 2 Samuel: 2 Samuel 13","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":3876}
