Amnon
Generation 2 from Adam
Biography
The firstborn son of King David, Amnon raped his half-sister Tamar despite her pleas and resistance. Afterward, he rejected her cruelly. Two years later, her brother Absalom killed Amnon in revenge, eliminating David's heir apparent.
Amnon's sin of rape and the violent response it provoked illustrate the consequences of uncontrolled lust and the dysfunction in David's house following his sin with Bathsheba.
