Today’s reading includes an account of sexual violence, so listener discretion is advised. The sexual sin that began in David’s heart and was executed in front of his household is now spreading throughout his family, as his sons begin to use their own power to satisfy their own lust and perversity. David’s son Amnon lusts after Tamar, his own half-sister, and plots to rape her at the encouragement of his friend Jonadab. When David discovers that Tamar has been raped by Amnon, he is furious, but sadly, he does nothing to intervene. Tamar’s brother Absalom is furious, setting in motion a series of events that causes havoc, not only in David’s household, but in his kingdom.
