Episode 123 - The Rape of Tamar. This comes from 2 Samuel 13

Episode Summary

This is the first of a series of treatments of terrible things that happened to David’s adult children after his affair with Bath-Sheba and having her husband killed. When the prophet, Nathan, confronted David about this, he relayed a story. David was angry about an actor in the story who had used his power and wealth to exploit a weaker man who happened to be poor. David issued a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy when he blurted out that the rich man needed to pay four times the punishment appropriate to this crime. David paid at least that much in terms of what his family had to endure.
