| 3 | 2 Samuel 13:1–29 | After some time, David’s son Amnon fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of David’s son Absalom. Amnon was sick with frustration over his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed implausible for him to do anything to her. Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man, so he asked Amnon, “Why are you, the son of the king, so depressed morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon replied, “I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.” Jonadab told him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare it in my sight so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’” So Amnon lay down and feigned illness. When the king came to see him, Amnon said, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.” Then David sent word to Tamar at the palace: “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare a meal for him.” So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked them. Then she brought the pan and set it down before him, but he refused to eat. “Send everyone away!” said Amnon. And everyone went out. Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat it from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes she had made and went to her brother Amnon’s bedroom. And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said, “Come lie with me, my sister!” “No, my brother!” she cried. “Do not humiliate me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing! Where could I ever take my shame? And you would be like one of the fools in Israel! Please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.” But Amnon refused to listen to her, and being stronger, he violated her and lay with her. Then Amnon hated Tamar with such intensity that his hatred was greater than the love he previously had. “Get up!” he said to her. “Be gone!” “No,” she replied, “sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already done to me!” But he refused to listen to her. Instead, he called to his attendant and said, “Throw this woman out and bolt the door behind her!” So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore. And Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her robe. And putting her hand on her head, she went away crying bitterly. Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom. When King David heard all this, he was furious. And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnon for disgracing his sister Tamar. Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king. And he went to the king and said, “Your servant has just hired shearers. Will the king and his servants please come with me?” “No, my son,” the king replied, “we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing. “If not,” said Absalom, “please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the king asked. But Absalom urged him, so the king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons. Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!” So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule. |
| 4 | 1 Samuel 25:42–43 | So Abigail hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s messengers and became his wife. David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So she and Abigail were both his wives. |
2 Samuel 3:2 Summary
This verse tells us about the beginning of David's family in Hebron, where he had several sons with different wives, including Ahinoam of Jezreel, who was the mother of his firstborn son Amnon. This is an important part of David's story because it shows how he was establishing his kingdom and his family, just as God had promised him (1 Samuel 16:13). As we read about David's life, we can learn about the importance of family, leadership, and trusting in God's promises, even when things seem uncertain (Psalm 37:3-7). By looking at David's example, we can see how God can use anyone, despite their flaws and mistakes, to accomplish great things and establish a lasting legacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Ahinoam of Jezreel and what was her significance in David's life?
Ahinoam of Jezreel was one of David's wives, and her son Amnon was David's firstborn, as mentioned in 2 Samuel 3:2. This is significant because it highlights the beginning of David's family in Hebron, which would eventually lead to the establishment of his kingdom, as prophesied in 1 Samuel 16:13.
Why is it important to note the birth of David's sons in Hebron?
The birth of David's sons in Hebron is important because it marks the beginning of David's establishment as a king, not just a military leader, as seen in 2 Samuel 2:1-7. This is also a fulfillment of God's promise to David to establish his throne, as mentioned in 2 Samuel 7:12-13.
What can we learn from the fact that David had multiple wives and sons?
The fact that David had multiple wives and sons serves as a reminder of the cultural and historical context of the time, as well as David's own flaws and mistakes, as seen in 1 Kings 11:3. However, it also highlights God's sovereignty and ability to work through imperfect people, as seen in Romans 8:28.
How does this verse relate to the larger story of David's life and kingdom?
This verse is a part of the larger narrative of David's life, which includes his rise to power, his establishment as king, and his relationship with God, as seen in 1 Samuel 16-31 and 2 Samuel 1-24. It sets the stage for the stories of David's sons, including Amnon, Absalom, and Solomon, and their roles in the kingdom of Israel, as mentioned in 1 Kings 1-2.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about David's personal life and relationships, and how can we apply those lessons to our own lives?
- How does the fact that David's firstborn was Amnon, who would later commit a grave sin, impact our understanding of the nature of sin and God's sovereignty?
- What does the mention of Ahinoam of Jezreel and other wives of David say about the role of women in the biblical narrative, and how can we learn from their stories?
- In what ways does this verse demonstrate God's faithfulness to David, despite his flaws and mistakes, and how can we trust in God's faithfulness in our own lives?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 3:2
And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; Unto David were sons born in Hebron. The six sons mentioned had all different mothers.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:2
2 Samuel 3:2 And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;Ver. 2. And unto David were sons born in Hebron.] None born during his exile: a sweet providence. And his firstborn was Amnon.] Who was none of the best; as was neither Absalom, Adoniah, &c. Heroum filii noxae. The white halcyons hatch black young ones.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:2
(2-5) And unto David.—The list of David’s sons born during his seven and a half years’ reign in Hebron rather interrupts the continuity of the narrative, but is quite in accordance with the habit of the sacred historians to insert at the beginning or at some turning point in each reign statistics about the house or family of the king. (See 1 Samuel 14:49-51; 2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Kings 3:1; 1 Kings 14:21; 1 Kings 15:2; 1 Kings 15:9, &c.) Amnon.—Written “Aminon” in 2 Samuel 13:20. His great crime and miserable end are related in 2 Samuel 13. Chileab.—Called “Daniel” in 1 Chronicles 3:1. None of the attempts to explain these as two forms of the same name have been successful. Either, therefore, “Chileab” is an error of the scribe (all but the first letter being the same as the first three letters of the following word), or, more probably, Chileab had a double name. Nothing further is known of him, and as he does not appear in the subsequent troubles, it is supposed that he died early. These two sons were born of the wives whom David had taken while an outlaw. Absalom.—His history, rebellion, and death are narrated in 2 Samuel 13-18. His mother was “the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur,” a petty province north-east of Bashan.
How David was brought into connection with him, and whether this alliance had any political object or not, we are not told, but the fact that Absalom in his exile naturally sought refuge with his maternal grandmother (2 Samuel 13:37) may have had a connection with David’s subsequent campaigns in that region. Adonijah.—After the death of his three elder brothers, Adonijah considered himself the rightful heir to the throne, and embittered the last days of his father by a rebellion (1 Kings 1). He was at last put to death by Solomon (1 Kings 2:25). Of the other two sons, Shephatiah and Ithream, and of the mothers of the last three, nothing is known, although there is an absurd Jewish tradition that “Eglah” was another name for “Michal.”
Cambridge Bible on 2 Samuel 3:2
Ch. 2 Samuel 3:1-5. Progress of David’s cause. His family 2. And unto David, &c.] The list of David’s sons born in Hebron is given again in 1 Chronicles 3:1-3, apparently in an independent form, but with only one important variation. It appears to interrupt the course of the narrative here, but it is quite in accordance with the usual practice of O.T. historians to insert information about the family of a king at critical points in the history of his reign, and moreover it is in place here as a practical evidence of the strengthening of David’s house. Cp. 1 Samuel 14:49-51; 2 Samuel 5:13-16. Amnon] Infamous for the sin which cost him his life, and indirectly proved the source of shame and calamity to his family and nation. See on ch. 13.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:2
2. Unto David were sons born — This was one important way in which the house of David was made stronger, and to show this is manifestly the purpose of the writer in introducing here this list of David’s sons.
