In this case, it is his half-sister Tamar that he wants. Amnon uses David to get what he wants. He rapes Tamar and throws her out in humiliation. David is furious but does nothing, while Absalom, Tamar’s brother, plots revenge. Two years later, Absalom murders Amnon.

Like father like son: Amnon’s sin was sexual as David’s was with Bathsheba. Absalom’s sin was murder, as David’s was with Uriah. Nathan had warned David the consequences of his sin. The sword would not depart from his household and David is living that reality.
