After this, the following occurred. David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar, and David’s son Amnon loved her.
All these were sons of David, in addition to other sons by concubines; and Tamar was their sister.
the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, who was the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur; the fourth, Adonijah, son of Haggith;
Absalom had three sons born to him, besides a daughter named Tamar, who was a beautiful woman. Absalom Is Pardoned.
Then Amnon felt intense hatred for her; the hatred he felt for her far surpassed the love he had had for her. Amnon said to her, “Get up, leave.”
Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Do not lust in your heart after her beauty, do not let her captivate you with her glance!
King Solomon loved many foreign women besides the daughter of Pharaoh—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, Hittites—
One evening David rose from his bed and strolled about on the roof of the king’s house. From the roof he saw a woman bathing; she was very beautiful.
He was strongly attracted to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and was in love with the young woman. So he spoke affectionately to her.
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet they seemed to him like a few days because of his love for her.
Because Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
the sons of God saw how beautiful the daughters of human beings were, and so they took for their wives whomever they pleased.
He was in such anguish over his sister Tamar that he became sick; she was a virgin, and Amnon thought it impossible to do anything to her.
