[[As]] the crown prince and heir presumptive to the throne, he was intensely hated by Absalom, who was, therefore, doubly eager to revenge the outrage committed by [[Amnon]] upon his sister [[Tamar]] ( <span> 2 Samuel 3:2 </span> ; <span> 2 Samuel 13:1 </span> , <span> 1 [[Chronicles]] 3:1 </span> ). </p> <p> (2) A name in the genealogy of [[Judah]] ( <span> 1 Chronicles 4:20 </span> ). </p>

<p> Am´non (faithful), the eldest son of David, by [[Ahinoam]] of Jezreel. [[He]] was born at Hebron, about B.C. 1056. He is only known for his atrocious conduct towards his half-sister Tamar, which her full-brother [[Absalom]] revenged two years after, by causing him to be assassinated while a guest at his table, in B.C. 1032 (2 [[Samuel]] 13) [ABSALOM]. </p>

[[He]] is only known for his violation of his half sister Tamar, B.C. cir. 1031, which her full brother [[Absalom]] revenged two years after, by causing him to be assassinated while a guest at his table (2 Samuel 13). (See [[Absalom]]). The Sept. (in a clause added in <span> 2 Samuel 13:21 </span> , but wanting in the Hebrew) assigns as the reason for David's refraining from executing the penalty due to Amnon, that "he loved him because he was his first-born" <span> — </span> a fact that no doubt formed an additional incentive to the ambitious Absalom for putting him out of the way.
