Who is Tamar?
TA'MAR
(palm tree). 1. The wife of Er and Onan successively, the sons of Judah. The patriarch refused to give her his remaining son, Shelah, and therefore Tamar, in order to remove the reproach of childlessness, and likewise to be revenged on Judah, contrived to induce the latter to unintentionally commit incest. The story is told in Gen 38. 2. The sister of Absalom, whom Amnon, by artifice, defiled. 2 Sam 13; 1 Chr 3:9. 3. A daughter of Absalom. 2 Sam 14:27.
