He was the firstborn son of King David and his wife Ahinoam of Jezreel, making him the crown prince and heir apparent to the throne of Israel (<a href="/2_samuel/3-2.htm">2 Samuel 3:2</a>).<br><br><b>Family and Background</b><br><br>Amnon's position as the eldest son of David placed him in a prominent role within the royal family. His mother, Ahinoam, was one of David's wives, and he had several half-siblings, including Absalom and Tamar, who were the children of David and Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur (<a href="/2_samuel/3-3.htm">2 Samuel 3:3</a>).<br><br><b>The Sin Against Tamar</b><br><br>Amnon's most infamous act, which is recorded in <a href="/bsb/2_samuel/13.htm">2 Samuel 13</a>, was his violation of his half-sister Tamar. Amnon developed an intense and sinful desire for Tamar, which he confided to his cousin Jonadab, the son of David's brother Shimeah. Jonadab, described as a shrewd man, devised a plan for Amnon to feign illness and request that Tamar attend to him and prepare food in his presence (<a href="/2_samuel/13-3.htm">2 Samuel 13:3-5</a>).<br><br>When Tamar came to care for him, Amnon seized the opportunity to fulfill his lustful desires. Despite Tamar's protests and her plea for him to consider the disgrace and consequences of such an act, Amnon overpowered her and committed the heinous act of rape (<a href="/2_samuel/13-11.htm">2 Samuel 13:11-14</a>). Afterward, his feelings turned to hatred, and he callously sent her away, further compounding her shame and distress (<a href="/2_samuel/13-15.htm">2 Samuel 13:15-17</a>).<br><br><b>Consequences and Death</b><br><br>The aftermath of Amnon's sin had far-reaching consequences. Tamar's brother Absalom took her into his home and harbored a deep-seated hatred for Amnon. King David, upon hearing of the incident, was furious but took no immediate action against Amnon, which may have been due to his own moral failings and the complexities of royal family dynamics (<a href="/2_samuel/13-21.htm">2 Samuel 13:21</a>).<br><br>Two years later, Absalom exacted revenge by orchestrating Amnon's murder during a feast at Baal Hazor. Absalom commanded his servants to kill Amnon when he was in high spirits from wine, fulfilling his long-held desire for vengeance (<a href="/2_samuel/13-28.htm">2 Samuel 13:28-29</a>). This act of fratricide led to Absalom's flight to Geshur, where he stayed for three years (<a href="/2_samuel/13-37.htm">2 Samuel 13:37-38</a>).<br><br><b>Legacy</b><br><br>Amnon's life and actions serve as a cautionary tale about the destructive power of unchecked desires and the devastating impact of sin within a family. His account is a somber reminder of the importance of righteousness, justice, and the consequences of failing to uphold these values. The events surrounding Amnon contributed to the eventual rebellion of Absalom and the further unraveling of King David's household, highlighting the intricate and often tragic nature of human relationships and the need for divine guidance and forgiveness.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Amnon</span><p>faithful and true; tutor<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Amnon</span><p>(<i>faithful</i>). <ol> <li>Eldest son of David.
