Amnon and Tamar

13 In the course of time, Amnon^(A) son of David fell in love with Tamar,^(B) the beautiful sister of Absalom^(C) son of David.

¹⁸ During his lifetime Absalom had taken a pillar and erected it in the King’s Valley^(A) as a monument^(B) to himself, for he thought, “I have no son^(C) to carry on the memory of my name.” He named the pillar after himself, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
