His mother was Ahinoam the Jezreelitess (2 Samuel 3:2). Sadly, he followed David’s sinful ways instead of his correct example. Tamar was David’s beautiful daughter. She was Absalom’s sister, so her mother was Maacah (2 Samuel 3:3). Amnon became sick due to his affection for Tamar. This was improper because it was a sin for brother and sister to be together (Leviticus 18:6-9; 20:17). Because he was unable to have access to her, Amnon became upset. Since Tamar was a virgin, a morally correct woman, she probably lived a protected life separate from society, as was the custom. 1 Amnon’s immoral love sought personal gratification instead of Tamar’s welfare. Scriptures teach that correct love is not immoral and seeks the benefit of another (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). If Amnon truly loved his sister he would have protected her. It is clear his love was dishonorable lust.

  • LOD14 David in Ziglag-Compromise and Recovery
    INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PRAYER UNIVERSITY – MIKE BICKLE STUDIES IN THE LIFE OF DAVID (FALL 2015) Session 14 Ziklag: Compromise & Recovery (1 Sam. 27-30; Ps. 18) I. INTRODUCTION A. After the miracle in 1 Samuel 26, David was overcome with despair and left the territory of Israel (27:1). He lost hold of the clear, prophetic insight that he had about the Lord removing Saul (26:10). In this season of his life, David embraced compromise based in fear, though he had been delivered 12 times before this (18:11, 27; 19:6, 18; 20:1; 22:1; 23:12-14; 23:28; 24:11; 25:33; 26:12). 1And David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines [Gath and Ziklag].” (1 Sam. 27:1) 9David said to Abishai, “…for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless? 10…the LORD shall strike him…he shall go out to battle and perish.” (1 Sam. 26:9-10) B. There were times when his circumstances contradicted God’s promises over his life that everything seemed lost to David. The Lord was testing his faith and calling him to realign his thinking and refine his character. He learned lessons in these times that he would not have learned otherwise. C. Our battle is a fight for faith or for believing God’s Word in the face of our fears. To trust God in times of blessing and victory is one thing, but to trust Him when things look negative is another.

  • Tamar Times Three
    TAMAR TIMES THREE WILLIAM I. ROSENBLUM Women named Tamar appear three times in the Bible. The first two are primary characters in important stories. The third appears as a mere mention in biblical history – or is she something more? Is she a poignant reminder of the second Tamar? Is she a reference to past events that would have been immediately recognized by all who had heard and remembered the oral histo- ry that must have been repeated for generations by the bards and sages who preceded the times of final codification and writing of the Israelite saga? If so, then the third Tamar was and is a reminder that female sexuality is an important actor on the biblical stage. This actor has two faces: the face of woman as heroine and the face of woman as victim. The first Tamar is surely heroine. In fact, without that Tamar biblical history might have come to a grinding halt. The tale of the first Tamar is told in Genesis 38. She was a childless widow, whose husband and his two brothers were the sons of Judah. Judah was a son of Leah and the patriarch Jacob, a half-brother of Joseph and the eponym of one of the 12 tribes of Israel. According to ancient Israelite law, a surviving son of Judah must take Tamar, his brother's widow, as his bride. The proba- ble reasons for this law of Levirate Marriage (Deut. 25:5-6) were to assure that property remained within the family of the dead husband and to offer the widow the continued protection of a husband and of the family into which she had first married.

  • 'David's Women': a Critical Comparison of Michal, Bathsheba and Tamar In
    UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM ‘DAVID’S WOMEN’ A CRITICAL COMPARISON OF MICHAL, BATHSHEBA AND TAMAR IN 1 SAMUEL AND 2 SAMUEL. By Julia Michelle Hogan A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Research in Theology and Religion.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract In this thesis I shall look at the narratives of three women in 1 and 2 Samuel: Michal, Bathsheba and Tamar. I will argue how these women each endure incredible experiences of suffering that are brought about primarily through the actions of both King David and the narrator. These women suffer at the hands of the narrator due to the narratives neglect in recording their experiences in any detail in the text. Instead, it will be my argument that these women are simply used as a means of continuing and explaining the events that happen in the plot of 1 and 2 Samuel and the ‘David story’. It will be my aim then to attempt to bring these women’s experiences to the forefront of the text and uncover their lost voices.

  • Day 6 Wednesday March 8 Masada Ein-Gedi Mount of Olives Palm
    Day 6 Wednesday March 8 2023 Masada Ein-Gedi Mount of Olives Palm Sunday Walk Tomb of Prophets Garden of Gethsemane Masada Suggested Reading: The Dove Keepers by Alice Hoffman // Josephus, War of the Jews (book 7) Masada is located on a steep and isolated hill on the edge of the Judean desert mountains, on the shores of the Dead Sea. It was the last and most important fortress of the great Jewish rebellion against Rome (66-73 AD), and one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Israel. The last stand of the Jewish freedom fighters ended in tragic events in its last days, which were thoroughly detailed in the accords of the Roman historian of that period, Josephus Flavius. Masada became one of the Jewish people's greatest icons, and a symbol of humanity's struggle for freedom from oppression. Israeli soldiers take an oath here: "Masada shall not fall again." Masada is located on a diamond-shaped flat plateau (600M x 200M, 80 Dunam or 8 Hectares). The hill is surrounded by deep gorges, at a height of roughly 440M above the Dead sea level. During the Roman siege it was surrounded with a 4KM long siege wall (Dyke), with 8 army camps (A thru G) around the hill. Calendar Event 1000BC David hides in the desert fortresses (Masada?) 2nd C BC Hasmonean King (Alexander Jannaeus?) fortifies the hill 31 BC Major earthquake damages the Hasmonean fortifications 24BC Herod the great builds the winter palace and fort 4BC Herod dies; Romans station a garrison at Masada 66AD Head of Sicarii zealots, Judah Galilee, is murdered Eleazar Ben-Yair flees to Masada, establishes and commands a community of zealots 67AD Sicarii sack Ein Gedi on Passover eve, filling up their storerooms with the booty 66-73AD Great Revolt of the Jews against the Romans 70AD Jerusalem is destroyed by Romans; last zealots assemble in Masada (total 1,000), commanded by Eleazar Ben-Yair 73AD Roman 10th Legion under Flavius Silvia, lay a siege; build 8 camps, siege wall & ramp 73AD After several months the Romans penetrate the walls with tower and battering ram.

  • 1 KINGS 15 Vs 1 KJV-Lite™ VERSES
    1 KINGS 15 vs 1 KJV-lite™ VERSES www.ilibros.net/KJV-lite.html The Bible is so interesting; even the Old Testament. Isn’t its historic record, so predictable as the 12 tribes, so highly blessed above all the nations of the earth; blessed with the presence of the Lord willing to lead. Yet in their despicable greed, they resented one another, instead of remembering they were family. Remember: when reading the 1st and 2nd Chronicles… we read history and events recorded from the perspective of the 2 tribes of the Southern Kingdom, the House of Judah; and when reading 1st and 2nd Kings… we read history and events recorded from the perspective of the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom, the house of Israel – led by Ephraim and Manasseh who carried with them all the nationalistic birthright promises given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – and to their descendants even in the 21st century. Abijam’s wicked reign over Judah, 1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam reigned over Judah / it’s interesting how both the northern and southern kingdoms competed to be the most corrupt. 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom / obviously the guy was a loser, and the Lord said, you’re out of here! 3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he committed before him: and his heart was not wholly with the LORD his God, like the heart of his father David.

  • 1 Some Time Passed. David's Son Absalom Had a Beautiful Sister
    Excerpt from A Biblical Journey for Justice by Fulata Lusungu Moyo, WCC 2014 1 Some time passed. David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar; and David’s son Amnon fell in love with her. 2 Amnon was so tormented that he made himself ill because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin and it seemed impossible to Amnon to do anything to her. 3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah; and Jonadab was a very crafty man. 4 He said to him, “O son of the king, why are you so haggard morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.” 5 Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be ill; and when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, so that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’” 6 So Amnon lay down, and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.” 7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.” 8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house, where he was lying down.
