AMNON’S LOVE OR LUST?

By Ken Blue  See 2 Samuel 13:1-29

 

Amnon’s love for Tamar was nothing more than lust.

He thought of her night and day, and have her, he must.

But she was a pure girl in her body and mind,

And was unaware of Amnon’s wicked design.

 

But, Amnon could not eat, nor could he sleep at night.

And so his crafty friend advised, to solve his plight.

“Pretend that you are sick, and call her to your side,

To prepare you a meal, and for a time abide.”

 

So, innocent Tamar came, at Amnon’s request.

And prepared him a meal, one of her very best.

But, when she brought it to the bedside, where he lay,

He grabbed her and forced her, and then sent her away.

 

She pleaded with Amnon; “please do not cast me out.”

She was now defiled, and forced to wander about.

But Amnon now despised her, his lust turned to hate.

“Get her out of my sight; lock the door and the gate.”

 

Tamar had a brother, whose name was Absalom.

And he had heard from others what Amnon had done.

Absalom gave a party; told Amnon the time.

And when he arrived, he was murdered for his crime.

 

Amnon’s  love for Tamar was nothing more than lust.

He thought of her night and day, and have her, he must.

But she was a pure girl in her body and mind.

And many girls are fooled by lust’s wicked design.
