God is the one who let adulterer murderer David off the hook in he first place. He's to blame for ALL of this and god left her alone, no husband, no children....a betrayed withered branch of a family tree. So typical of Abrahamics who let men do anything while women have to suck it up. Disgusting. Abrahamism is the THREE BLIND MICE. Jesus said Abrahamics are slaves to a lie and their father (Jehovah) is. not his father in the book of John. But they all ignore it. BLIND, willfully, as Jesus said they are and if they read this FACT....they will willfully ignore that too. Evil.

@@IsraelCountryCube So why are you defending men, do you think you have it harder than women, I see you throughout this comment section saying people should feel sorry for rapists because they are under a curse, do you understand that rape is an unforgivable sin. No rapist will be in heaven, even Islamic religion is aware of this but Christians are soft on sin because they worship lifestyle sin and praise and pardon backslidders. In Islam all rapists should be killed, because rape kills the soul of the person raped. I understand feeling pity for anyother crime, especially when a hard childhood is the cause, but his soul is not redeemable and is terribly wicked and he won't be saved. I guarantee he's burning in hell.

Was listening to this for my morning devotional before head out to do field work. This is a powerful reminder of the long term consequences of sin. Although sin feels great for the moment, the long-term consequences of sin can destroy my credibility, testimony, and life. In the past when l first go saved, l commits many sins out of survival, pride, peer pressure, and the need to be accepted, but as l grew up spiritually, and move into adulthood the power of God gave me the strength to break generation strongholds that had been passed down multi-generationally. I remember went l entered my early teen years, a pornography magazines, and films where being passed around the inner city neighborhood where we were living. This was around the time that a first got saved. Shortly after l started to watch them when nobody was around, and l would have conversations about them with my male friends. I remember during a summer of my middle school years, my former pastor was taking about destroying sin completely, or it will grow, and cause me to go to hell. After the sermon, l was convicted so much to the point that l took the pornographic film clips, and broke the VHS video tape up in the streets. I did not want to be rules by sexual sin, and am thankful for that day, because the pornography industry is destroying our world, families, and the minds of children who are searching for the meaning of the true love that Jesus Christ modeled. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Roman 3:23 God is searching for transformed hearts, and if one continues to ignore the warnings in God's Holy word, the consequences of sin can result in spiritual death, and many times physical death. 🙏🏾😇

Perhaps it was Amnon's lust and he forced himself on his half sister Tamar then when done threw her out so she was left in disgrace and as she wasn't a virgin so she couldn't marry a man. So her full brother Absolom got revenge. The fact he said sleep with me sister is so wrong

Even though previous to that he was "sick with love" for me. He went out with some other woman. But no one is ever good enough for him, so now he wants me back and to get me pregnant again and leave me again, like he has some sort of sick fantasy to have a secret family with me that no one knows about. I also found out he was actually still married while all this went on. Because I hired a private investigator to find him because I found out how whole life was a lie, right down to where he lived even to his phone number. It was all pretend. Maybe people like that are descendents of that family curse, because God said that curse will NEVER depart from that family line. They can't be normal because they are under a curse. That is why you have to be careful who you hang around and believe. Don't listen to their or promises and sweet nothings. They prey on vunrable people. And yes don't worry I got punished for what I did, I had my car stolen, the angel of death stalked me and I'd wake up with with the angel of death standing over my bed watching me, I had terrifying demonic attacks and dreams, everyone turned on me for no reason, I spent my pregnancy completely alone, had to walk everywhere with morning sickness and no car, and was abandoned and was in and out of hospital and had all kinds of demonic torment come on me because I slept with him out of wedlock. I also gave birth to a 9.2 pound baby on 3 days of no sleep by myself with absolutely no pain relief and nobody there to comfort me (I'm stick thin by the way). And got an infection.

[@ericbrower611]

Absalom, to his credit, *never* treated it "like it wasn't much". I believe the reason he waited 2 years to enact revenge was two-fold. His first priority was to see to his sister's comfort. The second was waiting to see what David would do. The King knew what had happened. There were too many people involved in the ruse, including he himself, for it not to be common knowledge at the palace. David was furious at Amnon. But his anger was more towards being tricked, rather than the honor of his daughter. So Absalom realized he was going to receive no support from that angle. And decided to take matters into his own hands.

Understand that civilizations are different.. that is why when Jesus died the curtain of the temple split into two. The previous civilizations did not have the Savior yet; the old testament is the testimony of proof to us on the difference between mankind without Jesus and civilization after Jesus. This is why John 3:16. We live in an evil world right from when sin entered the world as a result of free will. Thus Jesus said "These things I have spoken unto you, that you might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world." John 16:33. May we have the grace to put our steadfast hope in our savior Lord in this evil world.

I blame myself because I too went through the same thing as Tamar, my lil brother tried to take revenge and kill my older half brother, my dad found out what happened and took my older half brother to jail, my family broke down after that, I’m filled with so much hate and sorrow and pain, I blame myself so much cuz I feel like the cause of my family’s fall, my lil brother has learned to forgive my older brother and goes to visit our older brother to read the Bible to him and to preach to him, we are a Christian family and still don’t understand why my older brother did that to me, but he did, he knew about me having to be a virgin so he did other things to me, I still feel dirty and I reek of sin even more and each day my hate grows, my family fell apart but we struggle to keep it all together, my mother called me a devil and him her son, my other sister said “so what, move on, get over it” after I told everyone what happened a minute ago, only my dad and my lil brother stood by my side, my lil brother almost killed my older half brother but I stopped him in time and my dad stepped in and took my older brother to jail, he didn’t fight it, he keeps asking for my forgiveness, I know he’s changed a lot, even physically, I feel bad but I just can’t, it’s too hard, psalms 13 and it’s been helping but I still blame myself, there will never be a day I don’t feel sorrow hate and pain

I am also from a Christian family. I went through the same thing. It was my oldest maternal cousin who did it. My mom told me to forget about it to save our family. If ever I'll tell dad about it, who knows what he can do. Its pains me to see that they treat that oldest cousin as their own son while I'll just take my secret to the grave. I wanted revenge when I was young but I turned away from it. My older cousin is now successful in his life. He is happily married now with two sons. I honestly feel bad that everyone seems to move on and even the perpetrator is living a wonderful life while I am stuck here. I had nightmares growing up and I just overcame it. Its just that, that what cousin did too me had affected me so much that I am still bounded by sexual sin for 20+ years. Im trying to break away from it. Its just that whenever I take one step away, it pulls me two steps backward.

It is also sad too many dont learn from this story. instead especially women dont learn from this It was Unrighteous for Abasalom to kill his brother for violating his sister. Mabey the sister is the only one who is pure in this story. But she never forgave so therefore neither of them are now are they not? I ultimately dont feel anything for none of them. its a tragedy when you commit sin but its even a greater tragedy when youre the one not forgiving. So it doesnt matter if Amnon violated his sister. the best Righteous action she could have done is forgive him. because he too suffered from his Fathers generational cursed sin. this whole story is sad and if youre going to feel sad for the supposed only female victim then feel bad for the one who comitted the crime too. otherwise one is indeed playing the massive lack of morals but a hypocrite.

IMHO, it's precisely because of the similarities in the two incidents, that David *should* have taken a stronger stance in his response to Amnon's sin. Not to mention, it was his brother's son who helped plan the rape. It was David's failure to deal harshly with the perpetrators that undoubtedly lead to Absalom's rebellion against his father.

[@Danae78]

Gotta whip it in gear and stop it in it's tracks. True

[@ericbrower611]

I know this is going to upset many viewers. But this is similar to how the Catholic Church tried to deal with the 'predatory priest's situations in the past. They claimed to want to keep it quiet, so as not to lose the trust of parishioners. But the trust had already been broken. And trying to "sweep it under the rug" only made things worse. They showed more concern towards public opinion, than how God might view a priest who commits such acts against a child. It's the same way with David. He was more concerned with how this made *his* family look, than how his *son* had violated and disgraced his *daughter.*

I'll put in my 2 cents.... "That his father cried for his rapist son and that the only person to give his sister justice would be condemned..." is diabolical. Rape takes pieces of the victims soul. It's a pain that burns and a shame that never ever leaves. To be raped by someone you should have trusted is a mental paradox that puts the mind in a constant loop of devastation and even that is an understatement. The whole bible is a trigger for me.

It was very painful for Famar to see that her Father, David did not support her neither he brought to justice Amnon. She was heavily bullied in David's palace, other David's wives hated her as she was beautiful, also jewish pharisees approved Amnon's crime because Famar's mother was not jewish! It felt like whole world turned back on her! Bathsheba was not that innocent woman, she had ties to black magicians! Her goal was to remove/ destroy all David's kids so no one but HER son/kids can claim the throne! Evil people followed Famar to ensure she doesn't have kids! When Famar got old they finally left her alone, she lived for about 1000 years. She was close to Ioakim and Anna, when Virgin Marry was born Famar died in piece and happiness! After Famar's r%pe black magicians later ma$onic cult started practicing adultery on other kids - it is still widely practiced by this evil cult! That was they are trying to get child's soul.

Even though his son raped his daughter he is still his son. He grieved that his son committed this act. He saw the consequences of his son actions as recompense for his son.

If you cant feel sorry for His Rapist son what does that say about you? It is obvious to me you wouldnt condemn a rapist female. Because your whole being is flawed as female and biased with emotions. SO what? THats his son. Not a stranger. What good would it do if he killed his son? Because youre impliying Great harm to Amnom. Yes feel sorry for his rapist son hes not to blame only. Why not feel sorry both? If you think youre on a higher moral virtue ground that says alot about you which is the opposite of good. and also would it have been better if A female is raped by a female and would that happen? So therefore no this isnt the worst that can happen to a woman by a man. YOU need to calm down and shut up and forgive. You cant even come to repentance of your sins. If youve learned nothing.

David failed to protect his daughter and Absalom was a good brother who is worthy of taking ove the throne. David destroyed many lives because of his sexual sins not sure why God chose him as his favorite.

[@psychedelicpayroll5412]

God chose him because he was always repenting of his most shameful sins and pouring his heart out to him. Like how he serenaded him in the book of psalms. It is weird isn’t it but we are not meant to truly understand God. I can relate though to David pouring his heart to God and being a completely different person in his presence. But still the Lord did give him the consequence of having his family eventually have the throne taken from them.

David ordered Tamar to cook pastries for Amnon, not knowing what Amnon was up to. David should have reacted properly for his daughter, Tamar, no matter what his prior sins were. Joab killed Absalom when Absalom tried to take King David's position for himself. David's improper response to Tamar's rape caused Absalom to lose respect for his father, THE KING. Absalom felt his father was not the man to be king, because he was not man enough to deal with his domestic issues. Joab, despite being told by King David to not touch Absalom, did brutally killed him. Again, King David did nothing. However, if I am correct, King David arranged for Joab's murder or assassination. Also, if I am correct, Joab was murdered because King David never "forgave" Joab for killing his son, Absalom. After Absalom's death, Tamar was alone and desolate. She out-lived her brother. A "Tamar" was married in the bible, but I just researched and learned that she was a different Tamar and not King David's Tamar. One would think a King could arrange for a marriage for an extremely innocent, "obedient" daughter and brutally deflowered beautiful princess. One would think a king could find a member in the government to be Tamar's husband and father of her children, whether she is a princess or not.

[@davidrossi6255]

David ordered Joab to commit the heinous murder on uriah, although rumor spread around ,no one really knew the actual depth of what happened except Joab(the General of the kings army). David in spite of his awful Sin was a wise king and couldn't pronounce any kind of judgement when everyone already knew he committed no less better sin.After Joab fufilled davids murder plot on Uriah,He lost respect for the King and spoke to him any how,even to the extent of rebuke and threathening him when he mourned for Absolam(2 sam 19:5-7).So many lessons to be drawn from the things-All this transpired because of Gods Judgement on David.If we really understand we will do things differently

[@lindasmith3391]

It would have been wrong for David to encourage a man to marry Tamar. She had been defiled. It is true she was the innocent one. Tamar did right to stay single because that drew her closer to our Heavenly Father. Jesus did not marry. He walked in the spirit. Marriage is not for everyone. A spiritual relationship with our Holy Father is.

[@M100Spiral]

@@davidrossi6255 I sincerely have my moments of disappointment when thinking of how David was "the apple of God's eye." David made a lot of mistakes. However, when reading his Psalms, one realizes King David repented A LOT to God. God felt he was "a righteous man." I am realizing a righteous man to God is not a man who does not sin, but a man who sins and can still repent!!! In Romans Chapter 1, the Apostle Paul writes about sinners, who sin so much, that God hands them over to "a reprobate mind." They were handed over to that state of mind, because they felt no shame and refused to repent. Those type of people also take please in seeing others committing the same sins. So, I have concluded that "a righteous man" to God is a man who can repent and fears losing the Holy Spirit. I guess it is truly human nature to sin intentionally and unintentionally. However, it is spiritual to apologize when one faces he or she has sinned!!! Also, David called out to God A LOT. He also cleaved to God A Lot. And, he also thanked and praised God A lot. One can get the impression that God loves to be needed by humanity. In one of the Psalms, God implies "because you know my name, I will help you!" Have a very nice weekend!

@@kinglistosas5010 Yes, you are 100% correct!!!

[@M100Spiral]

@@lindasmith3391 I see your point. However, the trauma was so severe. Many people, meaning scholars, feel or fear Tamar never quite recovered psychology and emotionally. She was possibly trapped in confusion and shame. As some might say, "She was drunk with pain." Remember Dinah? Jacob did not mind having the man, who deflowered her, marrying her after he was circumcised. As a matter of fact, most of that man's culture was circumcised as well. Remember, that man truly loved Dinah!!! However, the twelve--I believe all twelve--sons refused to allow Dinah to marry the man, and they killed the man and most of his culture when they were healing from the mass circumcision. Remember, how Jacob was SCARED to have that sin and blood on his sons. What the sons did honestly did not sit right with Jacob. He was afraid of the repercussions. I really feel Tamar live an isolated or alienated life. That complicated, multi-level trauma is truly hard to heal and overcome, especially alone without a support group.

[@ginahochstein3716]

I remember that Amnon had been told, that he could ask David to marry Tamar. But he did not want that: he wanted to rape and discard her, he was perverse, he was violent. By all means David needed to punish him, by doing nothing, he went along with the evil doings of that perverse Narcissist. All the careful wording can distract us from what went on. Amnons desires were outside of the Jewish law clearly. He would have been obliged to marry any woman he had touched. Again: the 'love' of a Narcissist is hatred all the same.

[@michellearcilla5135]

@Grace Digital Network Absalom did not die as a maverick leader. He was killed by Joab, in spite of David's instruction to be gentle with his son for his sake (2 Samuel 18:5). Joab took 3 javelins in his hand and plunge them into Absalom's heart while he was still alive, hanging in the oak tree (2 Samuel 18:14-15).

[@dollytan1729]

Thank u for info,sorry I’m not aware of this Tamar Braxton can u expand on this?thanks

[@Catalyna]

@@dollytan1729 her family made lot of money from singing, They kicked her sister out, her and 3 other sisters kicked the 4th sister out of the music group, because the 4th sister was pregnant and wanted to have a baby, she was b only 23 or so , not too young. They forced the sister to abort the baby or get kicked out, the sister kept the baby thankfully. That's just the beginning of the story that was 20 years ago.. so many bad things involving this Tamar Braxton I don't know where to begin, anyway this sister just passed from cancer*(the sister that they wanted her to have abortion to stay in the band even though they were in there mid to late 20's) and more Bad things happening, Tamar also almost died from a stroke when she was on a dancing with stars tv show. She also has a child from whom she divorced the husband few years ago, the husband (and father of the child but who Tamar never lets see or visit) is the music producer for the very evil one Lady Gaga, theres just so much more I could write a book on this Tamar Braxton. Oh and she is very vulgar, the way she speaks to everyone in her family very vulgar. (she uses God's name in vain in almost every sentence she can , and curses worse than a Sailor, to her mom, sisters, father, everyone even when they tell her to stop and she is 40 years old still) She is in her 40's, millionaire, has a son, and a tv show and still very vulgar to everyone around her, she was going to be married last year to a man of God named David (he was very religious and had her pray before any meal and to read the bible and have it in her house, somethng her family did not do, did not like to do)and she left him for another womans (an affair she had with her husband) man, she is just so bad in her decisions. She is a homewrecker now, with a broken family, and a child whos father is connected to satanist Lady Gaga, and has a love for money and cursing and fightning no matter if it's her family or not. Oh and I forgot to mention she does witchcraft, when she was with her man of God that was named David, it was on a new tv show so we saw many things, one of the things David argued with her was she kept inviting a witch over and paying the witch money to do "rituals" and he did not like this he told her that God is the only one she should listen to and not to what the witch tells her or what the witch made her have dreams of, she had to Fire (to not pay her anymore or see her) the witch on TV to stay with him, but she kept visiting the witch outside the house , we think this may be why she left David but many do not know the reason why they broke up it was not filmed. After she left him which was last year, she found another woman's husband and she took him from her and now they are "engaged", it is tragic for that woman's family that why I called her a homewrecker, she knew what she was doing, this Tamar Braxton

[@steventroyer5801]

Both Tamars were honorable in their time. But the connotation of what they experienced would make me hesitant to use the name. Another name that is rarely used is Judah. The patriarch was an outstanding example of repentance and redemption, but the association of Iscariot eclipses that for most people.

Look we don't know what happened to Tamar. God is merciful and just to forgive. Look at Ruth whose husband died and she was a widow. Windows were like the underdog back then. Had she not decided to follow Naomi who knows how Ruth would have turned out. Back then even now it's about a covering for a woman because God put man over a woman. Yall feeling sad yes but what about the women in Israel history who lost sons because of a kings decree. Ppl still went on with their lives and the same could have happened to Tamar but we don't know.

There are all kinds of lessons to be learned from the Bible.

[@ryanehlis426]

It was not the practice of having multiple wives, as it was lawful and the custom at the time and proper patriarchy. That caused the problems for David. It was the sin of adultery and murder that was the problem.

[@dylanarmour6727]

Plus the law of Moses said for kings not to multiply wives so all three were the problem. Polygamy is obviously a sin and a huge problem that God chose to overlook a few times. If polygamy wasn’t a sin it would be ok now

[@ryanehlis426]

@@dylanarmour6727 it was not a sin under the old covenant. God says in his word that he gave David his wives, that’s Bible.

[@amyqb117]

@@amyqb117 you are totally in error, Exodus 21:10 and also Jacob God gave 4 wives who gave birth to the 12 tribes. So plural marriage was actually required for some under old covenant.

[@amyqb117]

@@ryanehlis426 Lmaooo God NEVER asked Jacob to marry 4 wives. Are you serious right now? Is this willful blindness?? Women gave birth to MANY children. All 12 tribes could have very well come from ONE woman!! What are you saying? But God, despite Jacob's MANY mistakes, used it all for good. The next thing you will say because God didn't kill David when he committed adultery with Bathseba, or stop their eventual union, then adultery is good. ALSO, Exodus21:10, refers to IF a man does so, Does not say a man MUST take a wife! Same as you, the children of Isreal REFUSE to listen to God and instead go their own way. Additional laws were given so that they do not destroy themselves in the process. So that they do not continue to hurt one another. this is why the man MUST take care of his first wife! Same as what Jesus said about divorce in Matthew 19:8. It is clear there were permissions for things because people's hearts were wicked! God may have permitted all this, but oh, don't think one second this is what God wants. He made his design at the beginning of time, so if you think you are wiser than God, continue as the Israelites did.

[@Nspirit-Nreproof]

A reproach was brought on David by God.. When we sin and so easily repent of our sins, especially the same sins in different forms, it seems we take God's gracious nature to forgive us for granted. Yes God loves us and is just to forgive us but because we know that he forgives, it is but a simple task to repent or at least say I'm sorry. That in itself is the prime example of ibeing turned over to a reprobate mind . I sin , I ask for forgiveness therefore I am forgiven.. it becomes a cycle. David. yes he loved God but he continued to sin therefore never entering into true repentance..and he was allowed to suffer from a perpetual shame. JEREMIAH 23:40 Which is why I believe he could not allow himself to face Tamar.
