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.

  • Tamar Times Three

    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.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan

    Three Conquests of Canaan

    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

ISBN 978-965-92825-2-4 Excavations at Tel Reḥov, carried out from 1997 to 2012 under the direction of Amihai Mazar on behalf of the Institute of Archaeology of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, revealed significant remains from the Early Bronze, Late Bronze and Iron Ages. The most prominent period is Iron Age IIA (10th–9th centuries BCE). The rich and varied architectural remains and finds from this period, including the unique apiary, an open-air sanctuary and an exceptional insula of buildings, make Tel Rehov a key site for understanding this significant period in northern Israel. These three volumes are the first to be published of the five that comprise the final report of the excavations at Tel Rehov. Volume I (Qedem 59) includes chapters on the environment, geology and historical geography of the site, as well as an introduction to the excavation project, a comprehensive overview and synthesis, as well as the stratigraphy and architecture of the excavation areas on the upper mound: Areas A, B and J, accompanied by pottery figures arranged by strata and contexts.

When and where the process of state formation took place in the biblical kingdom of Judah is heavily debated. Our regional project in the southwestern part of Judah, carried out from 2007 to the present, includes the excavation of three Iron Age sites: Khirbet Qeiyafa, Tel Lachish, and Khirbet al-Ra’i. New cultural horizons and new fortification systems have been uncovered, and these discoveries have been dated by 59 radiometric determinations. The controversial question of when the kingdom was able to build a fortified city at Lachish, its foremost center after Jerusalem, is now resolved thanks to the excavation of a previously unknown city wall, dated by radiocarbon (14C) to the second half of the 10th century BCE. KEYWORDS: Iron Age, Kingdom of Judah, Khirbet al-Ra’i, Khirbet Qeiyafa, Lachish, radiometric chronology. INTRODUCTION The debate over the chronology of the Iron Age is one of the central controversies in the current scholarship of the archaeology of the southern Levant as well as biblical studies.

MYKYTIUK Purdue University Libraries, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Abstract This is the first in a series of five articles which cover one aspect of a debate in biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies. In question is the historical reliability of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Historical/biblical minimalism, the side in the debate which finds the Hebrew Bible almost completely unreliable as a source for history, has already received substantial bibliographic treatment.

    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.
