Day 152 - Read 2 Samuel 13-14

Amnon, the son of David, loved his sister Tamar. He tricked her into being in his chamber and violated her by laying with her. Amnon then hated Tamar and sent her away in shame. Absalom, another son of David, took Tamar into his house. Absalom had Amnon killed. Absalom fled to Geshur, where he stayed for three years. Joab sent a woman to reason with David concerning Absalom. David sent for Absalom, but he required Absalom to remain in his own house. Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years apart from King David. He insisted that Joab speak to the king. Absalom was summoned and the king welcomed and kissed him.
