OT – 2 Samuel 13:1-39
Ask and you shall receive! I typed why is David’s daughter named Tamar and up popped this wonderful commentary on this scripture.
I was curious as to WHY David would have allowed his daughter to be named after the Tamar of Genesis. (You remember, Judah’s daughter-in-law who did not get the 3rd son and thus snared Judah). She was the great-great whatever grandmother of David and thus the one more great of our Tamar.
Clearly, the Tamar of Genesis was one shrewd woman and went after what SHE wanted. Our Tamar is almost, well, Mother said I shouldn’t call anyone stupid any more. Naïve. That is what our Tamar is.
Go check out this website. See if you agree with Susan.
And if you still want to pursue this topic, Beth Moore has an astounding sermon, well, you can’t call it a sermon since she is Baptist and a woman, a Talk about this very scripture. Skip to minute 2:30 to get straight to her.
