Tamar was a daughter of King David and Maaacah, known for her beauty and tragic story in the Hebrew Bible. She is featured in the Second Book of Samuel, where her life takes a dark turn due to the actions of her half-brother, Amnon, who becomes infatuated with her. After Amnon assaults Tamar, she faces social stigma and isolation, as her status as a virgin daughter is compromised. Her brother, Absalom, seeks revenge for her suffering, leading to a series of events that further complicate the royal family's dynamics and contribute to the eventual downfall of David's house.
