HA Bible Study: 2 Samuel 13:10-15

by Goldy — Sunday, 2/26/17, 6:00 am

2 Samuel 13:10-15
And Tamar took the bread she had prepared and brought it to her brother Amnon in his bedroom. But when she took it to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, “Come to bed with me, my sister.”

“No, my brother!” she said to him. “Don’t force me! Such a thing should not be done in Israel! Don’t do this wicked thing. What about me? Where could I get rid of my disgrace? And what about you? You would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king; he will not keep me from being married to you.” But he refused to listen to her, and since he was stronger than she, he raped her.

Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Get up and get out!”

    @1 Only those things going on in Arkansas are not palace intrigue. This is classic palace intrigue. It is not as good as Shakespeare. What happened was easily repaired as he could have married the sister, but instead sends her out and is later killed by his brother who is the full brother of Tamar. Yes it’s good to be the King. Perhaps II Samuel picks on poor David and shows him in poorer light, perhaps, only Shakespeare would have done it far far better. After all he created all the propaganda around the War of the Roses.
    No palaces and no writing in Arkanses, if you want to know if the Quapaw have similar stories go to their 4th of July dance.

    Ir seems to me, that on so many levels, this is the story of control.
