Violence is the fruit of a bad tree.
It strips us, it empties us, it destroys us, it stagnates us, it alienates us from our neighbour.
The violence is in a look, in an attitude, in the words.
The blood does not flow but the heart is broken, sad, torn, bitter.
Violence leaves scars and keeps people captive and in regret.
Violence gives way to misunderstandings, dilutes the authentic fraternity between brothers.
Amnon, Tamar’s half brother, is not a stranger, but a relative, a member of the family.
He planned a strategy, he hatched a plan to defile his sister, to steal her innocence, her carelessness.
Amnon will bring reproach on his sister who in their context will be rejected, accused, humiliated.
Amnon robbed him of his dream, his dignity, his pride.
He leaves a mark on this girl’s life that clings to her forever.
Amnon takes her life, she is as if dead.
David, their father is very irritated but what? Anger or shame?
David doesn’t do anything, he doesn’t say anything, he doesn’t position himself more than that.
What would he have done since he is not an example, he used force, war, assassination to clear his name and take Urie’s wife.
David is not a father, he may be a warrior, he is a leader but he is not a family man.
He does not know how to educate his children, he has no authority without his house, he is more concerned with the things of the kingdom of Israel than with his family and disorder, violence, hatred have entered his house .
David did not defend his own daughter, he showed cowardice.
Absolom, Tamar’s brother tells Tamar to shut up and keep it to herself.
Moral and physical suffering at the cost of a good reputation.
Tamar is alone, she is not listened to, she is not encouraged, consoled.
Beyond Amnon’s act, we have a character who is not mentioned but he was the driving force, Amnon’s friend, Yonadav.
He is even the supplier of the rape scenario, he is the pervert.
This is why when the word of God recommends something to us, we must take it with determination.
Proverbs, 22:24 – Do not associate with the angry man, Do not go with the violent man,
Avoid violent people.
It is a warning, it is a prohibition.
Let’s not get in touch with people who are sensitive, touchy.
Let’s not associate with them.
The violent Man is not advised by the Lord, he will drag us into the dirt and expose our nudity.
That’s what we have to do, separate ourselves from certain people to gain access to the throne.
Ehhh yes
Obligatory passage for you and for me.
Hello people of God
Have a good day
