Everything about Amnon totally explained
» For the moshav in northern Israel, see Amnon (moshav).Amnon (Hebrew: אַמְנוֹן), a character in the
Hebrew Bible/
Old Testament, was
David's eldest son. He raped Tamar and was murdered by
Absalom.
Amnon was the progeny of David and
Ahinoam. Tamar and Absalom were the progeny of David and
Maachah. Thus Amnon and Absalom were half-brothers, like
Abraham's sons
Ishmael and
Isaac.
Jewish law forbade Amnon to marry a half-sister, and taking evil advice he pretended to be sick. He lured Tamar into his quarters with the pretense that he wanted her to cook a special meal for him, ignored her protests, and raped her. Two years later, Absalom engineered Amnon's death. (2 Samuel 13:1-22)
