We will compare three tragic “couples”: Adam and Eve, David and Bathsheba, and Ammon and Tamar. God repeats a story three times to help teach us a lesson about sin and transgression.
He’s also introducing Absolom as a Messianic figure. From here, we will be following his life closely for messianic clues.
