1. Love based on the physical desire (1-14)

David's son Amnon could not help falling in love with his beautiful half-sister Tamar, whose brother was Absalom son of David. But Amnon's love was not true love. It was based on physical desire and her beauty. It made him very sick (4). Satan put wiles into Amnon through Jonadab. King David was good-minded towards his son and he blindly gave him what he wanted and sent Tamar to his home. Amnon was inflamed with lust for Tamar and he overpowered her and raped her. Amnon was influenced by David's adultery; his sin was becoming worse in Amnon.

2. Love turn to intense hatred (15-22)

After Amnon raped Tamar, his love turned to intense hatred. He hated Tamar more than he had loved her. He ordered his servant to put her out and bolted the door after her. His love was nothing more than lust and sinful desire. True love is possible in Christ Jesus. In Him we can love, respect, and understand each other.
