Tamar, a beautiful young princess of Israel, Palestine, daughter of King David, was ruthlessly raped by her half-brother, Amnon, who was infatuated with her, ill-advised by his cousin Jonadab to rape her, knowing that she was a virgin. The rape destroyed many lives, including that of Amnon, who was murdered by his brother Absalom, later killed in the civil war, where thousands of lives were lost. The rape had one ripple effect after another on King Davids family and became a national disaster, destroying many innocent lives.
