Tamar - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read 2 Samuel 13:1 – 22.

1. Do you think Amnon truly loved Tamar? Why or why not?

2. Describe your feelings as a woman when you read Tamar’s pleas in 2 Samuel 13:9 – 14.

3. Why did Tamar say that sending her away was “a greater wrong” than rape (13:16)? What did she want?

4. What should David have done to Amnon? What could he have done for Tamar?

5. Have you ever been betrayed by someone you trusted? If so, how has it affected your life? Where is God in your story?
