Question

List four tragedies which occurred in David's family as a result of his sin and God's judgment upon it. Use complete sentences.

Answer 1

David's son Amnon forced his half-sister, Tamar, into incest. After two years, Absalom, Tamar's full brother, killed Amnon. Absalom fled to Geshur, and David refused to allow him to return for three years and refused to see him for two more years. Joab was finally successful in his attempts to mediate between David and Absalom (2 Samuel 14:33).
