Amnon (David's son living at the time of United Monarchy) - Fact Book

First, in plain English

David's firstborn. He raped his half-sister Tamar, with a cousin's scheme to help him, and David did not punish him. Two years later her full brother Absalom had Amnon murdered, and that was the start of the road to Absalom's revolt.

Who this is

Amnon was David's firstborn son, and his rape of his own half-sister Tamar, aided by a cousin's scheming advice, went unpunished by David and provoked their full brother Absalom to murder Amnon two years later in revenge, the act that eventually spiraled into Absalom's open rebellion against their father.
