Amnon was David's firstborn son by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, born at Hebron.-2Sa 3:2; 1Ch 3:1. Amnon developed a passionate desire for lovely Tamar, Absalom's sister, to the point of lovesickness. Following the advice of his cousin Jehonadab, Amnon feigned illness and induced King David to send Tamar to Amnon's private quarters to prepare "bread of consolation" in his presence. He then used the opportunity to violate his half sister forcibly, despite her pleading and reasoning with him. His case illustrates how extremely selfish erotic love can be, for, having satisfied his desire, Amnon then had Tamar put out into the street as someone repugnant to him, someone whose very presence doubtless made him feel unclean.-2Sa 13:1-19.
Tamar's full brother, Absalom, nursed a hatred of Amnon for this act, and two years later at a sheepshearing festival Absalom had his servants murder Amnon when he was "in a merry mood with wine." (2Sa 13:20-29)
