PASTOR WANDA OUTLAW - THE STORY OF TAMAR

Tamar was the daughter of Maacah, a princess from a neighboring kingdom; she was of royal descent on her mother's side. She was extraordinarily beautiful, as was her brother Absalom. Her beauty was a burden: she was desired by her obsessive half-brother Amnon. He lured her to his room and raped her. David did not punish Amnon, despite pleas from Tamar's mother and brother. Amnon refused to marry her, so she was disgraced permanently, and may never have married. Her embittered brother Absalom led a rebellion against his father David, but was defeated and killed.
