Bible Tamar
Tamar from the Bible was the daughter of David and Michah (Maachah) and a Geshurite princess and sister of Absalom. She and her brother were alike remarkable for their extraordinary beauty. Tamar was not only fair and pure and gentle, but was also the most honored of the daughters of the king.
Unfortunately, Tamar's fatal beauty inspired a frantic passion in her half-brother Amnon, the oldest son of David by Ahinoam. Amnon plotted against Tamar, pretending to be ill. When King David expressed anxiety over this illness, Amnon entreated his father to bid Tamar to act as his nurse. The gentle maid obeyed her father's request, thinking no evil. But Amnon, having her alone, attacked and raped her, doing irreparable injury. Then, his former admiration turned to hatred, and he drove her from his house.
Tamar fled through the streets in despair and terror, weeping , tearing at her clothes, and heaping dust upon her head. She sought shelter with ther true brother Absalom. When King David learned of Amnon's crime he was upset but did nothing. Absalom, furious at heart, yet not daring to openly to oppose both his father and his elder brother, colsoled and protected Tamar as best he could. In secrect he vowed to inflict an awful vengeance upon Amnon for what he had done to Tamar.
