Verse 3 is found in chapter 13 of 2 Samuel. Amnon develops an obsessive desire for Tamar, Absalom’s sister. Jonadab identifies the situation and proposes a plan that will allow Amnon to approach her through deception. The narrative begins to show how David’s sin within his marriage and his abuse of power affect the next generation. The royal family, which should represent justice, begins reproducing patterns of disordered desire, deception, and abuse within itself.
